I am also in same boat it's almost 40 days passed and I am still struggling with the linking application to mycic. My application got delivered on 14th July and received by D.Stevenson.
I got the pod from Fedex, I was also thinking for the same but got convenced when I found fsw 2014 global tracker in which I found Mike, D.LEWIS and D.Stevenson are the cic members at cio who is taking our application.....So better to wait till get the AOR and dam sure if we get the AOR then with the help of UCI we can able to link our application. Best of Luck.
