Hello,

I achieved the rating of 2200 at an event last Saturday ([CHESS GORILLA SATURDAY SWISS | US Chess Ratings](https://ratings.uschess.org/event/202602070963)), and would like to know when the milestones will be updated so I can submit title verification requests on lichess and chesscom. I know another player who crossed 2200 in late December, and his milestones have not updated either.

Will the milestones be updated soon?

Milestones are next on the list after norms, which are currently being worked on.

We did run a list of newly earned national master titles a couple of weeks ago so the office could send out those certificates. Update: I ran an updated version of the recent NM list and passed it on to the director of member services.

A tool for staff to manually add titles (used primarily for OLM titles) is also on the worklist.

Hi @nolan ,

If you could, could you provide an update on when they expect milestones to be updated? I have not received a certificate in the mail either, and have not received a response when I reached out to Member Services. If the milestones are going to take a while, would I be able to request a digital version of the certificate on the USCF website?

I don’t know if the publication department has the capability and time to do that, but I’ve passed the suggestion along.
