I need to update my forms on LEED online as most of them are v01 and have "BETA" listed at the bottom. I called USGBC and they told me to ask for the updates in the "Feedback" option which I did and submitted but nothing's changed. It's been 5 business days as of today. Can someone please help me?

is that a super old project?
I usually have an easy time getting them to upgrade the forms. Please be aware that they aren't going to transfer your information to the new forms so you have to save any data already entered in LEED Online.
Have you submitted for preliminary design review yet?
I'd recommend stating in the feedback form
1) I saved my existing forms to my local disk and 2) I understand that all information from the forms will be lost and won't be transferred to the new forms. 3) please upgrade me to the latest form version
You are trying top upgrade every single form? I'm not sure how they would handle that. I have only upgraded individual forms when a better version came out for IEQp1 and WEp1.

The project was registered in May of 2009. And yes, the project has been submitted for preliminary design review. Will that affect the form update? I need to update the forms for my credits only (MRc2, MRc4, MRc5, MRc7, IEQ3.1, IEQ3.2, IEQ4.1, IEQ4.2, IEQ4.3, and IEQ4.4). All of them are unfortunately the older version... I think one was v02. I will try to do what you said in the feedback forum and see if that works. Thank you for your help.

They may want you to request a form upgrade for each individual credit you mentioned. I am not sure if they can just do it in one fell swoop.
If you've already entered any information in the forms make sure you save it because it will get lost when they upgrade the forms!
You can get an idea of the forms that have had major upgrades here: http://www.usgbc.org/sampleforms
The MRc2 form change probably isn't a huge deal. You will want to use the Materials and Resources Calculator for MRc4,5,7 since that what the reviewers are familiar with these days. You can download that file here:
http://www.usgbc.org/resources/bdc-material-and-resource-calculator.
The IEQ forms have been improved so upgrading those should help you with your documentation. I think if you let them know the 3 things I mentioned above that might expedite the process a bit.
