Has anyone recently tried getting an XEP number? From what's being said in this forum, it sounds like it's a temporary number that's assigned to the application before AOR is issued. Wondering if asking for one prompts them to actually look for application (physically) so they can assign the number and (maybe) that somehow has a positive effect? Who knows... grasping at straws at this point... How does one even request that number? I've seen posts about people inquiring through webform, but not sure if it's a good idea at this point...
