    Hello

    I'm new here. After over a year of doing everything that's needed to apply for a special issuance under HIMS, my AME is submitting package this week.

    I'm hearing bad stories concerning wait time.

    Any input ?

    Thanks !

    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 month or so....

    I wouldn't bet on anything faster than that unless you're a part 121 revenue airman.
