I was just over 1,000. And I actually read back and I saw in the past couple of days people did answer that It seems to take about a month.

I sent everything that they asked for as separate attachments. I'm hoping that that is the best way as I wanted to make sure that I didn't just send a random zip file. Gosh in the end they were like 15 attachments lol

Yes still need to submit a notarized form - just put no for student. I had left it out in my original submission and they asked for it when they were reviewing my paperwork.

I had received this exact rejection too during the initial stages, but I swamped them with phone calls and emails - I actually also printed all documents from my original submission with a rebuttal and FedEx'd (maybe I went overboard ) - but I did hear back from them with a confirmation within a couple of days.

Based on my experience, just make sure all documents in your original submission are pdfs (even photos which are usually jpgs or pngs) and unzipped.

I think that is the right way to go - based on my experience, do not send zipped file/folder - they will ask to re-submit everything as unzipped files , all as PDFs - a back and forth that led to unnecessary delay in my app processing. Good luck!

Thanks. What do I need to write on the notarized letter?

Nothing, just fill out the form provided on the application checklist. Check that you are neither a full-time or part-time student and have a notary stamp it.

bavi, do you remember how long exactly it took you to hear back? I got a rejection email on Monday, emailed the stuytownlotteryquestions address on Tuesday and Wednesday, and submitted an appeal (a letter + screenshots of my original submission email + all my original documents reattached) on Wednesday. I haven't heard anything since then...should I be worried? I'm nervous since today is the last day for me to file an appeal--do people think that there is more I should be doing? I'm reluctant to do FedEx unless it's really necessary since that's a lot of extra time and expense on my end.

Hi all! I have a log number <100 and sent in documents towards the end of May. Got an email in June requesting me to re-send some of the documents since they couldn't open them. Haven't heard anything since. Does anyone who already received an offer for an apartment remember if they had to re-submit the student status page if it wasn't notarized when you initially submitted it? They mentioned in the application we could submit it without notarizing it to begin with, so we did. Will we need to re-submit a notarized copy?

I think I did had one thing, which was a screenshot, because it was a unique situation where I couldn't get an actual PDF, but maybe just need to make the extra effort to convert it.

Thanks for the tips!

Hi ! So looking back again at the dates - I had sent rebuttal as both email and mail (printed docs with overnight FedEx) - I received a confirmation email from the Stuytown lottery folks the very next day noon. It was a couple of hours after my fedex package was showing as delivered - so TBH not sure if they were responding due to my email or my doc mail package.
Good luck!
