15c-211 approval is determined when FINRA finishes its 10 day procedure of approval. After the form 10 is reviewed by the SEC for a maximum period of 60 days given there are no serious questions to delay the review and approval process.
The public wont know form 10 approval or 211 approval until the company PR's corporate action or when the Level 2 quote is placed on QB exchange to the market makers via BMAS.
Im not arguing with you. I am giving you the time sequence and procedure based on regulations from both the SEC and FINRA.
I wonder what changed between Mark's post on January 15:
FINRA made it clear that there was extensive review necessary on each and every press release and there was no estimated date of review finalization but that a Form 10 or S-1 would very likely expedite the review process.
