Does Nobody Check the IP Exemptions Anymore?

[Komayto]

I have just a few extra questions about this process for anyone with experience to answer.

How exactly would one know if they were granted an exemption? Is the requester notified in any overt way? Or do you just try and see if you can log in? I've been afraid to try just thinking I'm not yet authorized and might unintentionally raise a red flag/false positive for the staff.

Followed the prescribed format to a "T" and it's been over a month. Not that I'm complaining, I'm a patient person and have other stuff to do/games to play; but I fear my family member is starting to lose interest in duo'ing.
