What can I do if I don't get a response for 3 month old Upgraded Candidates?

Yes I have contacted Niantic support twice and once just recently today again where I got the same response I got 2 months ago with this response


Let me give some more context about said candidates. These candidates were submitted nearly 4 to 5 months ago however I got an upgrade for one of them almost immediately 2 to 3 days after I had submitted them. They are located in a Middle East country with next to no portals, players or even reviewers. I had seen one active player on COMMS within 200KM with 2 days as the most recent activity when I reached the city I had submitted candidates in.

I submitted 14 candidates and since then have had 6 of them upgraded with more possibly on the way since they will likely not get a reply ever at the current pace of how I review. Is there any action or thing I can do to help get the candidates reviewed or do I wait until another 8 of my upgrades go to these candidates which will probably also stay in limbo due to the lack of players in the particular area?

Thanks for any feedback or if anyone gets a Niantic Rep to check this post.

    Nothing...literally you cant control that kind of stuff just keep hoping that candidate will show up to more reviewers and eventually have a desicion...which will really get you mad when is a valid that gets denied 6 months later


    There is nothing you can do other than keep waiting, if you send a duplicate will be practically the same story but you could try to send again maybe it went into the limbo so the new one might not

    @Josmanu Figured as much. I don't know if I will be visiting said country any time soon but it is frustrating that even with an upgrade they won't get a single new portal.

  • While waiting, everytime you think about this limbo upgrade, take a deep breath and tell youself you will receive an update tomorrow. Behold! Your patience meter has just +1 😁

    @MrHammerme I usually forget about them until because I frequently get new upgrades but it's annoying that since I have 8 more submissions that arent upgrades it will still choose them when upgrades clearly don't work in this country. I would rather they apply out where my other submissions are otherwise it's a clear bug or issue in the system.
