Originally submitted Sept 18th. Realized I didn't add my wife to the list of registered owners.

Resubmitted on October 27th.
Documents Reviewed Nov 17th
Offer Received Nov 30th
Notarized Docs approved Dec 6th

Generally pain free, except wish their website allowed for edits of initial data.

Damn. I got my appointment email tonight (6:37 EST) so they are definitely working weird hours!

To recap:
Offer letter 11/19
1st rejection 12/2
Approved 12/6

Still have to decide when... maybe January. The holidays are hectic, which complicates things.

After calling four different times and talking to four different people I finally found out why my notarized documents were rejected. For some reason when I print them my Adobe is cutting off the page numbers and QR code box at the bottom of every page. Therefore they rejected them for missing ID meaning the page ID. The lady I talked to today put in a ticket to reset my account so I can upload them again. She said that could take up to a week. It's already been 4 weeks since my original notarized document upload with no communication from them to me, only me calling them.

Got my email @ 2:30am, Eastern Time this morning.

11/25 Notarized docs submitted.
12/5 Portal opened, scheduled appt. for buyback.
12/20 - Took first appt. available @ 5pm. (Did check 5-6 other close VW dealers and this was the earliest appt. available.
Can you tell me what dealers you looked at? I just submitted my notarized offer and I am wondering what the wait will be.
Thanks

Uploaded 11/26
Rejected yesterday 12/5 claiming they couldn't read the stamp.
Had it renotorized this morning. Crystal clear just uploaded. We'll see how long this one takes. Hopefully not another 10 days. All I picture are the sloths from zootopia (for those that get the reference)
Anyone else in the same boat as me? Any luck with turnaround?
Resubmitted 12/6, Just received notice to schedule this afternoon 12/7. Scheduled for 12/20 @5:30 Long Island NY

Scheduled it @ Wellesley, closest to my home and had the first available. I also looked at Boston VW in Watertown, VW Gallery in Norwood, Colonial in Medford, Quirk in Braintree, Minuteman in Bedford, and I believe their might have been one other. Most dealers had openings on the 21st and 22nd. Wellesley only had two available on the 20th, 5pm and 6pm.

Offer uploaded 12/8, appointment scheduled 12/12 for 1/5. Nothing sooner within 75 miles.
Also scheduled my appt. yesterday (12/12) and was able to get 1/4/17 as the earliest date. I only really have one convenient dealer, so I didnt check around to see if I could get one sooner.

I uploaded the notarized offer on 12/8. The appointment was scheduled on 12/13. I had a lot of local dealers to choose from and the earliest I could find was 1/5.

I just received the "Final Offer Letter" today. Does anyone know, for sure, how much time I have to notarize and return the accepted offer? Is there a cut off time before the Sept. 2018 date? Also, how long do we have, after the accepted offer is returned, to make an appointment to return the car? And, how far out are the appointment date choices? Are the choice dates only within a month, or can you choose a date 3 months out?
Reason I'm asking is that I'm not ready to buy another car right now. I don't have the money to lay out to buy another car, so I'm relying on the buyout payment for the next car. Id like to shop around and find the right car and the best deal... have a car picked out before I return my TDi.

I received my offer letter 12/8. I submitted the notarized document via scan/upload on 12/9. Received the email to schedule my buyback today (12/13). Not bad.

Now I just have to hang out and wait till 1/5.
