Thanks for the feedback Robert, it is reassuring to know that others are in the same position and that the wait time does not necessarily mean something is wrong with the application. As per your suggestion to apply for the newly merged Google program  www.google.com/nonprofits I wanted to clarify that this application will not affect the current program we are waiting on. Also this new program connects other google offerings, such as the non-profit Youtube program, which the organization I work for is already a member of.  Any information you can provide about how the newly merged program will affect our accounts either pre-existing or pending approval would be greatly appreciated.
