Thanks, I'll be doing the same! Do let me know if you hear anything. I'm hoping for the best for both of us and praying that it doesn't involve much longer of a wait!
For all the alternates who are upgraded to principal status out there, I thought it might be helpful if you list when and how you were notified of your status change on the spreadsheet.
I found the white envelope waiting for me in my mailbox this evening. I have been designated as an alternate for Sweden.
Here's to enduring the wait and hoping that a full grant will come through!
