hi, I mentioned on Nov 27 that I was frustrated because

1) I was unpleasantly surprised to learn that my 1 BTC at Mt Gox could not be transferred to another wallet until verification was completed
2) when I created my account at Mt Gox, the verification period was 5 days, but when I logged in next time, it had become 10 days

I had lost confidence that I would be able to access or move my 1 BTC there.

But, the verification did come through, in a little more than 10 business days. Mt Gox notified me that I was verified, and I promptly moved my 1 BTC elsewhere (or .999 BTC since Mt Gox took .001).

Thought I should report back that the verification did work.

Apologies if this is a bit off topic, since I did not experience the form submission errors that I think many posters are discussing.

I created a Mt Gox account and uploaded my passport & utility bill on Nov 19th. That day, the site said it would take five business days to do account verification. Yesterday (Nov 26th), I checked, and now the site says it takes ten business days. For all I know, the next time I check, the site may say it takes a month to do account verification.

I only have 1 BTC there, but at today's rate that's a lot of money. I am stunned that I cannot transfer the BTC to another wallet without account verification. I'm not trying to buy or sell, I just want to get my BTC off that site and put it elsewhere. I wonder how many people are in this same situation.

Really wish I had read this thread before dealing with them. If you guys have success getting your accounts verified, I'd love to hear about it.
