Make sure you send all the paperwork to your local REC, so they can forward it to NMC. I made that mistake and they sent everything back to me.

I emailed my application, and all other documents last Sunday to Hawaii in 3 labeled emails \<10mb and I also checked the homeport site and entered my info for application status, but nothing in the system yet. Yesterday I sent another email to Hawaii asking the status of my application, and it is now Friday night and I have still not heard back [B]anything.

[/B]I followed the instructions for emailing exactly, and don’t know why this has taken 5 working days with no word at all. Is this common? Any suggestions of what to do now?

This is very common system delay !,  
I just did my (MMC) renewal on March 27th,  
and the USCG Homeport system did not show any information for 5 working days !,  
and then I received an automated USCG email saying that my application was accepted !  
if you did not receive an email yet saying the the REC has accepted your application then you need to contact your local REC ASAP !
