First companion choice selection becomes effective immediately. Changing companion must be done before end of November and takes effect in the first week of January. You can have only 1 designated MM companion. If you don't make a change, the previously selected companion will remain in place.
While rules suggests the companion has to reside at the same address as elite, in practice, neither same address or same last name is needed (UA may be tighten this up starting in late 2022)

Companion eligibility:
- A companion is defined as a spouse, significant other or individual who resides at same home address, based on MileagePlus profile information.
- Your companion must be an enrolled member of the MileagePlus program under his or her own name and may not already be the companion of another Million Miler.
- The companion benefit is awarded on an annual basis and is nontransferable.
- Your companion will receive his or her own individual Premier credentials and does not need to travel with you to enjoy the benefits of the Premier level awarded.
- Your designated companion will automatically renew each year unless you let us know otherwise by November 30 of the current year.
- You may change the companion on your account; however the change will not be in effect until January 1 of the following year. All change requests must be made by November 30 (for changes to existing companion nominations) or December 30 (for first-time nominations) to be effective for the following year. MileagePlus will not be able to accept changes to existing companion nominations during the month of December.

However to get the most out of the companion benefit if A&B travel often together I suggest A nominates C and B to nominate 'D'.

When will mystatus.united.com indicate that my MM sponsor has re-nominated me for elite status?

Changed my MM status to a new companion (did this before the 11/30 cutoff).
Her first flight of next year will be 1/1/17. Anyway to permit her to select an E+ seat (based on the new status) before 1/1?

I would suggest to call United. An agent should be able to book him/her to E+. Good luck.

Might work but my guess is no unless you are also traveling. The agent will have no visibility into the nomination and would have to take your word for it -- some might, suspect mostly will not.

I'm traveling on the out-bound, but on a separate PNR. Will try to call; can't hurt.

Does the companion get a separate kit mailed to them or is just included in the kit to the primary 1mm?
Thx

Separate kit in our case. Kit is literature and the card, I don't recall anything else (like luggage tags or drink chits) but we're only Gold
