The VA has upgraded their VIP website recently. Unfortunately, migration from the old to new system has not been seamless. The new system is currently down indefinitely for “emergency maintenance.” Hopefully, the techies are working hard to get this fixed asap. Meanwhile, the VA has promised to give time extensions to applicants who have pending document requests. Fairness dictates that the VA should also give time extensions to companies whose verifications have expired, or are about to expire. The VA should do so immediately to alleviate this stressful situation on our veterans.
