CA Broker equivalent experience / how long to verify work exp?

[Andrew W.]

I'd like to see if anyone has data points on how long it took the CA BRE to verify their work experience for the broker exam app. It has been nearly 8 weeks since I submitted my broker exam app and have not heard anything. I'm wondering if they're having issues with my equivalent work experience. 

Check was cashed on 1/10, and they are now processing applications received nearly 2 weeks after that. I called and they were unable to provide any information, just that they are still verifying work experience and they will send snail mail letter if there's a problem or if it's declined. 

I felt pretty confident at the time that my experience would satisfy the "intent of the law" based on their specific examples of acceptable equivalent experience as involving "...escrow/title officer...loan officer...or real property appraiser...". The experience I submitted was >5 years as a residential mortgage loan underwriter...having reviewed thousands of title reports, appraisal reports, credit/income documentation etc. that a typical title officer/loan officer/appraiser would prepare...but given how long it has been, I'm starting to have doubts now.
