Since my board status says "MLI", does this mean I am now promotable? If so, when will it populate?

I seen that this was on my board status and never knew it was an automatic promotable status. I have had a back injury and was told that id need to pass the PT test to go to the board. I passed my test and as im preparing myself for the board next week i noticed the (MLI) beside my name. Does this mean i am now promotable? and if so when will it populate? just saw this today, TIA.

SGTs that are in the primary zone for SSG for over a year will automatically (as long as they aren't ineligible [AR 600-8-19*, para 1-11]) be placed on the promotion recommended roster (PRR) by HRC, just as if you had passed a promotion board and the unit commander did.

You still need to meet promotion eligibility criteria (i.e., don't fail ABCP, receive a BAR, PT failure, etc.) and achieve the points cutoff for your MOS before you'll be promoted.

When would you be promoted? The promotion points that are reflected in the system by the 26th of the month will be used to compete against the promotion cutoff score at the beginning of the month after next (i.e., if you were on the PRR by the 26th of May, then your promotion points on that day would be used against the cutoff scores for July 1st).

Keep in mind that everything needs to be reflected in the HR systems correctly (points, etc.)
