my roomate had this happen and it took like 4 days i think? but that was in november when not as many people were submitting. depends on how busy the dept of education is i guess

Just a follow-up suggestion: While you're waiting for processing, document everything. Take screenshots of your correction submission confirmation, save any emails about the correction, and note the date and time you submitted the fix. This documentation can be crucial if you need to appeal any decisions related to priority deadlines. Most schools have appeal processes for situations exactly like yours where students made good-faith efforts to meet deadlines but encountered system issues.

Has anyone else noticed that the processed SAI number is COMPLETELY different from what all those online calculators estimated?? Mine was off by like $8000 which is making me think I did something wrong too!!! I'm going crazy trying to figure out why my number is so much higher than expected and what that means for my Pell Grant eligibility!

UPDATE: I found it! Thanks for all the help everyone. I followed the steps about going through the "You" menu and "View and manage my applications" and was able to review everything. Good news is that all my schools are listed correctly and my parent contributor information looks right. My SAI is actually lower than I expected which I guess is good for aid purposes? I feel much better now knowing everything was submitted correctly. Now just waiting on my school... the waiting game continues.

This is really helpful insight from someone who works in the system. It's amazing how the lack of transparency creates so much anxiety for students. Would you say calling the financial aid office is more effective than emailing at this stage?

calling is ALWAYS better than emailing especially this time of year when were drowning in emails. but be prepared to wait on hold for a long time. if you call first thing in the morning (like right when the office opens) you usually get through faster. also be super nice to whoever answers because we deal with angry people all day and are more likely to go the extra mile for someone who treats us like humans lol

One other thing to check - make sure there isn't a mismatch between your husband's name as entered in the FAFSA and his name as it appears with the Social Security Administration. Even small differences like using a middle initial vs. full middle name can trigger verification issues. The system sometimes defaults to "no SS number" when it detects a potential name/SSN mismatch.

UPDATE: I finally got it fixed!!! For anyone else having this problem, here's what worked: I used an incognito browser like someone suggested, but the key was entering the information in a specific order: 1. Name 2. Date of birth 3. Social security number 4. THEN uncheck the "no SS number" box (even though I never checked it) For some bizarre reason, that sequence worked! The system accepted everything and I was able to move forward. Now just waiting for my SAI calculation to see what aid I qualify for. Thanks everyone for your help!

Update on my situation - the adblock suggestion worked for me! Turned off all extensions and suddenly I could see the Complete button. My application is finally in review status after being stuck for almost a month. This is ridiculous that we have to troubleshoot a government website like this.

Has anyone received their actual SAI score yet after getting past the 'In Process' stage? I'm wondering how long that typically takes after the application moves to 'In Review' status. Our university needs the official SAI for scholarship consideration.
