Status quo, The CBOE is trying to get an automatic waiver approval (S56 only) from the SEC for those holding the S7. They should begin processing waivers mid-next week.
Just listened to CBOE live conference, it seems everything stands where it is. Exam material will not be out until the end of the month. Waiver requests will start getting processed later next week and should be finished by mid August. Seems like the CBOE/CBSX is trying their best to make this seamless for the trader although the SEC is putting on the pressure. It is what it is.
