Attempted to (re)join the UN earlier. After receiving the email just over a day to two days after applying, tried to confirm entry and was informed that the invitation had lapsed. I attempted to confirm only a few hours after receiving the email.
This is not the first time I have tried to rejoin the UN since I originally joined (last year), and every time the invitation has lapsed, although I've responded to the email within a matter of hours (2-4) the last few times.
The only thought I have as to why the invitation might be lapsing so quickly after I receive the email is that occasionally (more and more often lately) emails that are sent to my account (on Softhome) seem to reach my inbox up to a day after they're sent - a much longer delay than usual.
If anyone can confirm my concerns that it might be Softhome causing me to receive the invitation email after the invitation has lapsed, then I would appreciate it. If there are any other possible reasons why the invitation may be lapsing (or if anyone knows that it actually does lapse within an hour or so), I would also appreciate hearing that.
