The strategy worked for me, too, after my first submission went into limbo for a week. This was an extremely helpful thread.

I merged my inbound and outbound PDFs. I remember seeing somewhere they wanted to see both the in and out ticket transport - not necessarily to your home country.

I submitted two applications half an hour after you did. Still "en construction". Travel is in December, though.

How long did you wait to submit new requests between all these attempts? I just submitted my 2nd request.

If the application didn't move into the review status for more than 5 minutes, I deleted and reprocessed. Once an application was accepted and reviewed it was approved in about 4-5 minutes.

Two hopefully useful data points:
In my case I had 2 separate one-way tickets, YWG-CDG and CDG-YWG. I combined them into a single PDF.
In my wife's case, she has a one-way YWG-CDG and a open jaw CDG-YWG-FCO. I combined the first of these with the first part of the second into a single PDF.
As reported earlier, we played the 1 am CDT game and both passes were received within 2 minutes.
I have been in France for 1 week and have been asked for the PS exactly once, when entering a coffee bar at CDG. The young lady looked, visually, at the QR code for 2 seconds and said c'est bon! The pain au chocolat was excellent BTW ...

It's been here since I submitted 3 hours ago. Try again?

Noted. Thanks to you both.

How do you delete the old, un-needed application? I don't see any way to do that?

Finally received but ultimately not necessary
 

During dinner at about 10:30pm last night, on the final night of a 5 night stay, my wife and I finally received our approvals. Here is the thing: at least in Paris, the passe sanitaire was completely unnecessary. For those places that even bothered to check (the Louvre and Versailles among them), the CDC card was sufficient. Maybe half of the cafes and restaurants we visited even bothered to ask.

We had sent in our submission 27 days prior to our departure. About 3 days prior, I updated our itinerary and asked (in French) for an update. During the whole period, it remained in the “construction” phase until final approval last night. We did not attempt the “resubmission” trick that others have used.

We were so amused by the late arrival that we insisted our waiter (who had seen our CDC cards previously) scan our codes just so we could say we used it. He happily obliged!

that is one late meal lol

Socalduck….thank you for your post….waiting since 9/12 but we have some time to submit new dossiers…travel in December.

I was happy to hear that your CDC cards were accepted at the Louvre and Versailles.

Yes, you should be fine regardless, and have a great trip. I’m in Ireland now, and have used the passe sanitaire a couple times, which means I can leave the CDC card at the hotel. So, despite the delayed processing, it was not a total waste of time.

I am not sure this will work - I have a EU Certificate in the Tous Covid app which shows up as valid in the TAC Verif app. However showing the same French QR code to the NL Coronacheck Scanner app it shows up as not a valid code. My French certificate was created by importing a UK NHS QR code and it shows in the Tous Covid app as a French certificate. So the Netherlands can obviously detect that although it is a French certificate, the vaccinations were made in the UK. It may not be the same for people who have received their pass sanitaire through the application process or at a French pharmacy, but worth checking the Dutch Coronacheck Scanner app to see whether it would pass muster there.
