Does MVP application Decline Status normally include an email notification with comment or feedback?

Hi everyone,

I’m a former Microsoft MVP (14 years) and was recently nominated again. I continue to run both global and local community initiatives, and I’ve also delivered sessions at Microsoft Reactor.

I submitted my MVP application, and when I contacted MVP Support for assistance, they initially couldn’t locate my application under my email address. After several follow‑ups, they eventually found it and informed me that my nomination was declined.

However, I have not received any decline email, and when I log in to the MVP site, my application still shows “Under Review” rather than “Declined.”

I’d like to check with the community:

• When an MVP nomination is declined, is an official email notification normally sent?
• Does that email include any comments or feedback?
• Should the dashboard status update immediately once a decision is made?

I’m simply trying to understand the normal process so I can confirm whether something might be out of sync.

Thanks in advance for any insights.
