Once your special issuance is approved 1-2 years later that is. Once you manage to navigate conflicting requirements, secret policies and lists, and an unending back and forth of new requirements passed to the airman at the last possible moment. Again, if the FAA wants to claim the position...

You should be able to request a copy of the partial exam results from the neuropsych. The COGSCREEN generates a LRPV which is a quotient that describes the likeliness based on population norms that you were experiencing a neurocognitive deficit at the time of the test. If the narrative from the...

Best of luck. About 90% of the frustration could be resolved with either an add on to medxpress that says "your packet is X of Y in line" or even just being able to say that over the phone. If anyone from the FAA is reading this, please reach out to me. I can show you how to count rows in...

I called my Senator in March at the 6 month mark from when my 1st Class HIMS SSRI was sent to DC, 9 months from when it was transmitted by the AME on medxpress. A representative responded to my senator's staffer that it would be another "2+ months" until my packet was reviewed. This is exact...

Similar timeline to yours. Class 1 HIMS SI submitted 06/2022. Packet sent to DC 09/2022. Absolutely no movement since. I call DC Once a month and the answer is always the same "Another 2+ months we can't tell you any more than that." With that knowledge its at least a 9 month backlog for...

I'm currently in my 11th month since exam submission date. Applying for a 1st Class SI for HIMS SSRI/depression. If I hadn't had all my ducks in a row at submission time and the FAA had had to prompt me for more documentation it would have been much longer. Hopefully I will hear back in the next...

Congrats, should be pretty quick from here. You might be able to call your RFS to see if they can fax you the medical. Out of curiosity, what class was the medical and was this a DC HIMS case or something else?

Not to burst your bubble but the current wait time for HIMS cases is ~8 months in DC in addition to the 2-3 months of waiting for OKC to process your packet. Assuming you submitted your final physical with the HIMS psychiatrist consult in January you can probably expect to hear back some time...

Because you were on a multi-agent protocol, SSRI path 1 is no longer an option for you unless this 'extended moment' was far in the past (10+ years). The FAA's view is that whatever 'it' was, you had it, you had markers of severity (multi-agent protocol), and you still have it. So why would they...

The bad news is that you don't have a choice now but to give the FAA what they want, otherwise they will revoke your medical. Do not miss the 60 day response window and request extensions if necessary to get them documentation on time. The good news is that depending on how the records look and...

If it helps as a data point, I paid 3,500 for the HIMS psychiatrist and 1750 for the Cogscreen/neuropsych assessment in February of 2022. Your costs will vary depending on how much effort goes into the reports or if you need additional follow on psychological testing (i.e. For poor performance...

Mind sharing if you are a HIMS substance abuse or SSRI case? I'm currently at 7 months for an SSRI case since transmittal and wondering if I have another 7 to go...
