We've received our final review report and will have to appeal a decision on EAp2, which also affects two credits. Can anyone tell me how long we should expect to wait for the results of this appeal?

From the time you hit submit, maybe 3-5 weeks. Since Greenbuild is done, people will back at submitting projects. In a month or so you'll get more with people trying to submit before the end of the year. Those could create a back log. Remember, your review has to go through a bunch of admin stuff prior to it getting to the reviewer and before you get it back from the reviewer.

A few years ago, I submitted between Greenbuild and the year-end holidays, and GBCI's response took MONTHS. They seem to have fixed the problem. We did the same last year, and we were amazed how quickly they responded. We weren't ready for it.
I think that they are moving things fairly quickly, but as Todd suggests, it may all depend on how you fit into the queue.

Thanks to you both for your thoughts on timeline.
A follow-up question on appeal cost: Our report states that EAc1 and EAc6 will be re-evaluated after we resubmit EAp2, and that we do not have to appeal those points. However, when we try to submit for review, with only EAp2 checked for submittal, we get a message that we've not satisfied the submittal requirements, presumably because our points don't total 40 without EAc1 and EAc6. If we check EAc1 and EAc6 to submit, the appeal cost goes up to include those credits. What am I doing wrong?
