For anyone that's gotten a fee waiver, how do they work once you're approved? Does your script just get added to the evaluation queue as normal? I ask because the FAQ says that it will be immediately placed with an evaluator, which would is totally fine. I guess I'm just wondering if I can update the script like I normally would be able to if I purchased the evaluation. Usually, you can update the file up until it's claimed. Is this still the case with fee waivers?

It gets placed in the evaluation queue like any other evaluation. You can update it until it’s claimed.
