Once we have received and verified your information, you will be placed on our waitlist based on your rank and the number of family members. We invite you to visit our Waitlist page for the most up-to-date wait-time estimates.
Note that your position on the waitlist is based on the date you departed your last duty station, as verified by the clear date or other equivalent services. Your active position on the waitlist is secured only after we receive your Final out-stamped clearing papers.
