In the handbook, for the processing time from PMI side it mentions 10 Calendar days but it doesn’t mention anything for the 60 Days Panel Review but one would assume it is calendar days as well.
That said, I heard there is some delays lately in panel reviews.
Good Luck Ali. Saving Changes...

Thank you Rami, its been 40 calendar days for me. strange how it changed from 3 days panel review to 60. I am wondering if the current PgMPs are loosing interest in helping with in this certification. I think PMI need to work something out to enhance the process. Saving Changes...

Ali, I don't think it was every 3 days. It was 4 weeks then changes to 60 days and my guess that happened due to the COVID situation so probably this will improve as we phase out of the pandemic.
Let me me know if you have any further questions. Saving Changes...

Thank you Rami, it seems its 60 business days, I tried the chat with PMI to understand if its business or calendar days and they don't even know :). anyways if its 60 business days for panel review they will stretch it till the end which could take up to 3 month. I don't get it why a panel review need to go for 3 month, at this point really I kind of regret starting this process.
I feel that quality of service has deteriorated drastically during COVID. The pandemic has been sometimes used as an excuse to justify the low customer service. Saving Changes...

Things take forever these days to be processed but that's the case with most businesses - There are lots of factors in play like shortage of skilled people due to the "Great Resignation" - I am sure if PMI can expedite the process they will but don't forget that the panel who reviews those applications is a panel of volunteers so PMI can't push a lot because everyone has their own thing going on.
On another note, from my own experience with PMI, if you want to get best results, call them directly, don't email or chat because emails and chat get directed to channels that most of the time have no decision making authority so they can only provide generic answers and promises within their level of authority.
Hopefully you will get it soon and you will successfully complete the exam. Saving Changes...
