Hi Marilyng27, I also got my patient certification through innovative express - I had my final visit on friday and expect that they will be sending my application sometime this week. They have not charged my card yet but my theory for why your card was charged quicker than everyone else is that the other users have mentioned that they sent in checks, which then weren't cashed until their application were reviewed. I believe innovative express probably cuts the physical check to the state, but are charging you the fee from your card to pay for the check if that makes sense. I've seen a few other people mention that paying with card, they saw their money taken out almost immediately so that wasn't a good indicator to determine when their application was processed.
