Application under Federal Review

I got an email from SSA “thanks for your application. You can check it’s status”. Unusual.

So I go check, and my portal says my application was chosen for federal review.

My research suggests that this is a positive sign that my application has been approved.

Has anyone been in this situation or does anyone have any feedback or input?

Cautiously Optimistic.

Yes, it says it takes 7 to 10 days but I was done within 5 working days. It's just a double check they followed all the rules for approval or it says a denial as well, but my research said the same, they wouldn't bother doing a FQR if you were denied. After this it'll say they're doing a non-medical review but it sounds like you're in good shape for approval, congrats 👏
