CISSP Endorsement Wait

Hello all!

 

For those waiting on your CISSP Endorsement Review approval from ISC2, the wait will continue.  It has been over 6 weeks since my endorsement was submitted and I just received the following:

 

"Typically, the endorsement review process runs around 4-6 weeks; however, due to a system upgrade, we are currently running closer to 8 weeks. This could be done sooner than the 8 weeks, we just ask to allow the full time for review."

 

So it looks like we are all in for longer wait times post endorsement. 

 

Happy Waiting!!

Back in 2003 it was aeound 4 weeks for the endorsement process, and it took 6 weeks to get the information if the exam was passed or not.

This thread is for “CISSP” endorsement wait time. I believe there is another thread for track the other certs.

Yes, a secondary cert. seems quicker...

 

For CISSP, there is a wait time as ISC says, I'm just scratching my head as to why my endorser did not get any request to do the necessary which leads me to believe that there might be some system issues because I selected one of my CISSP certified peers to endorse me.

 

He did not get any comms. from ISC, meaning the workflow is likely progressing with ISC as the endorser.

 

Well, next week Friday is the end of 8 weeks, which then means I can pop them an email, I will also check if there is a system issue, i.e. 

 

Did my endorser get a request to endorse or not ?

 

Thanks !

There is only one endorsement queue into which all applications are entered, and all applications are subject to the same wait times - regardless of the certification or if it's an additional certification for the applicant.

 

The Acclaim badges are stated to take two weeks but my CCSP badge came through in two days.

 

Although the thread is titled CISSP endorsement I have been posting in here about CCSP and ISSEP endorsement, and as said above all applications go into the same queue so gaining information about wait times from any certification is helpful.

 

Glad to hear the queue has dropped from over 9 weeks to under 8!

Hmm... It has now been 112 days since I submitted my application.

That is 16 weeks - literally twice as long as the purported 8 week delay.

And I have still had zero comms from ISC.
