About Waiting States

Waiting States is a reference site that explains what common waiting statuses usually mean (for example: under review, pending, in progress, processing, delayed).

Each page focuses on one status phrase and explains what is usually happening behind the scenes, why it can stay in that stage, common timeline ranges, and when action might make sense—without predicting outcomes.

The site currently focuses on job application statuses. Credit/banking and shipping statuses may be added later.

Waiting States is not affiliated with employers, banks, carriers, or platforms. Content is general information and may not match every system.
