  @mohdfaraz The only way is to check constantly if the MAVNI program reopened or not. The US army does not put you in pipeline.

  @kyle37 It is true. MAVNI right now is restructuring their applicant processing procedures and policies. 2017 MAVNI is on hold because it needs to focus on the current applicants and/or soldiers that have already sworn in and signed contract. Once that issue has been addressed, along with a consolidated applicant processing system, I think they will reopen the program. I heard from people that is may open of May 2017 or August 2017

  Does MAVNI still have SSBI? Will it check your original country?

  @mavniman Does this mean MAVNIs are not allowed to apply for MOS with TS? Even though it's like 4 years down the line from date of enlistment?

  Why they're doing another background investigation?

  @hk343 I truly believe so. The backlag has affected everyone under the MAVNI program. I truly feel the OPM overestimated the sheer volume of MAVNI applicants thus affected MAVNI contracts ultimately putting applicants and even soldiers as yourself who have already completed training on an indefinite hold. I feel that they are still consolidating their processing system for background check for MAVNI that is why we are experiencing delays. And at some point they may have panicked and decided to add additional background checks. That is most probably why they suspended MAVNI to address backlag and then they'll reopen along with a more reliable background processing system. We just have to be always prepared for any outcome be it negative or positive. It's basically a waiting game. As of now, military personnel with knowledge over this will tell you to just wait and keep doing what it is that your doing. For DEP soldiers, get DA from USCIS so that you may get work permit while waiting for BCT. Good luck to us all and stay informed. Information is key. Always

  @mavniman @admin Hey Admin! Actually, I've enlisted in Active duty in May 2016. I’m done with ASVAB and Physical but OPI is yet to be completed. However, it was closed suddenly. When it re open for FY 2017, do I need to apply again or is it okay with old application. I do have some register # like that. My question is -5000 slots for FY 2016 has completed already. Is my application goes into those 1200 for FY 2017? If yes, their couldn't be more chance for new enlistees right? Because, there are lot of peoples who are stayed on hold in middle of the process. Thanks.

  @bale From what I know, you get a response that they received your application within 2 weeks. Then you get an approval letter within 90 days.

  @mavniman thank you so much for the promt reply. I am now relieved a little bit :) As for the LASIK, it was not performed in US but I do have the documents. I'll discuss with the recruiter anyway. On a diff note, with the SEVP latest memo, I hope the new security protocol comes in place quickly and that MAVNI reopens for fy-17. Thanks again for all the help!

  @eqsnn It is not confirmed but it is unlikely that Chinese will be included in the language list for 2017.

  @ruipan I was 2 hours away. I'm on the same boat with you. Now it seems like MAVNI will not reopen until May 2017.

  @psonee Nobody knows. Maybe it will reopen in October. maybe not. Maybe it will open next year. maybe not. Nothing is certain about reopening. It may not reopen at all but very unlikely.
