<p>Hi, I was talking to a few people, and they told me that they all received paper correspondence after filling out the FAFSA. I filed about 8 weeks ago and I still have yet to receive such a letter. I received a few emails, and the others told me they received a few emails as well, but I still have not received any paper letters saying that my PIN and info was checked and passed through.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have this problem?</p>
<p>If you have received an email telling you that your FAFSA has been successfully processed, and if you can see a processed, accepted FAFSA at [Home</a> - FAFSA on the Web-Federal Student Aid](<a href=“http://www.fafsa.gov%5DHome”>http://www.fafsa.gov), you are fine. However, you may want to double-check the address on your FAFSA to make sure it is correct.</p>
<p>Kelsmom, I think I also posted something similar to this before. Was it you or someone else that said that they thought FAFSA only sends the letter for the first year?</p>
<p>now I’m really confused! I thought that,when submit FAFSA online, you get confirmation email,once it’s successfully processed. and they don’t mail processed letter unless we request. And I thought I can just down load the processed SAR from the link…? AM I missing something??</p>
<p>In all honesty, I think the FAFSA folks are constantly changing how they do things in response to technology. It is always available for download, anyway! :)</p>
<p>Here you go … from fafsa.gov:</p>
<p>You will receive your SAR by e-mail 3-5 days after your FAFSA has been processed, if you provided an e-mail address when you applied. This e-mail will contain a secure link so you can access your SAR online. If you have a “junk” folder or “spam” folder in your e-mail files, check it. The e-mail from us might be delivered there instead of your inbox. We encourage you to add our e-mail address, <a href="mailto:FederalStudentAidFAFSA@cpsemail.ed.gov">FederalStudentAidFAFSA@cpsemail.ed.gov</a>, to your e-mail address book to help avoid delivery problems.</p>
<p>You will receive a paper SAR by mail in 7-10 days after your FAFSA has been processed, if you do not provide an e-mail address when you apply. Whether you apply online or by paper, we will automatically send your data electronically to the schools you listed on your FAFSA.</p>
