Bizal,
After about a week or two of answering questions at the local CReW level, they sent my stuff for review last week...let's see, today is the 28th....I would say that it was submitted to ANA on the 18th. It became official yesterday as in ANA said YES, SEND HIM AN INVITE, and I am heading out to Japan on the 22nd thru the 27th of September. Academic test (holy sh@@), HR Interview, Sim, and Medical....all on different days I hear...I dunno. If I actually make it thru this I will let you know how it all goes. Just got a big packet full of stuff in the mail and I have to go to Kinkos and get pictures takien and put into various sizes.
SO...hope that helps. I'm sorry you haven't heard since July...I don't know what to say to that. I told CReW that I was ready to rock and roll asap, and that I would be bugging them until they said yes or to pack it up and go home.
Good luck!
