How long does it take for documents to be approved in Army Selection Board System "My Board File"?

I had to upload quite a few documents into my board file, due to them being missing, or improperly labeled. I had to upload 23 documents and have had to handle this process on my own, as I've had no guidance from leadership and this is my first OML evaluation board. My question is how long does it take for the uploaded documents to be approved?

*edit* Quick question of my own up front - Assuming the board you're referring to is the SFC Board that would look at USAR SSGs who are an AGR (you tagged the post with the "AGR" topic), didn't that recess at the beginning of last month*? If so, the AMHRR updates were due NLT 27 Sep 24 and SRP updates NLT 22 Sep 24. The OML should have occurred immediately after the selection board.

The answer is "it depends" because your 'My Board' file pulls from IPPS-A, your OMPF, and your evaluations in EES.

Assuming the documents that you had to upload yourself were iPERM uploads to go to your OMPF, it should happen within eight days of being uploaded ('My Board' synchs the documents from iPERMS every three to five days and priority uploads to iPERMS are processed and placed in your OMPF within three days). IPPS-A changes should be within 24 hours but I'm unsure about EES updates.

This is assuming you uploaded them for priority processing by having the word "Board" as the first word on the first line in the comments field (Having "Board" as the 1st/1st may not be a requirement, but my folks never had an issue with the uploads not being handled as a priority when they did it that way.

If you didn't upload it for priority processing, then it can take up to a month and a half for the documents to appear in your OMPF.

If they were uploaded for priority processing and it's been longer than 2 weeks (10 work days .. giving 2 more as a buffer) and the documents aren't there, contact the iPERMS Board Support Team (refer to the "Record Update and Maintenance" page* on HRC's website).
