Hello Saurabh,

Did you receive an email stating that that they received your application? If not, you may want to resubmit or follow these directions received from IBM AI Assistant. (as shown below)

For inquiries about advocacy badges and their status, please follow these steps: 1. Log in to your IBM ID on the IBM Community. 2. Go to the "Community" tab in the top menu, and click on "My Account." 3. Navigate to "Badge Tracking" or "Advocacy Program" within your account settings. 4. Here, you can search for your badge request using the date (July 22) or your username for confirmation. If the status is not updated or you have encountered any issues, consider reaching out to the Community Support team using the "Contact Us" or "Help" option found within the same "My Account" section. Be aware that the IBM Community Support team's communication preferences might not support specific dates or direct email notifications for badge-related inquiries. You might want to also check the Community FAQ or any recent announcements or updates for advisory information regarding badge processing. As for resources, the following page provides general information on the IBM Advocacy Program: IBM Advocacy Program Remember that individual badge status updates might require direct communication with the Community Support team or monitoring for relevant announcements.
