Adding on, any MSTP applicants also waiting on a secondary? I submitted my primary late to them so I was expecting a delay but is it long for everyone?

It took me about 4 or 5 days to receive a secondary back in early August. Since their portal just came back on Wednesday evening, they might still be working through whatever process they have for sending secondary invites

Same, +1 OOS secondary invite just this morning! My primary was transmitted 08/24ish.

I think their site was down for most of the time since then, but looks like it’s up and running now :)
