Hosting Statuses and Meanings

From AFSWiki

Please find below definitions of statuses used in relation to hosting distribution and the stages of host family placement.

Area Team Assigned	ATA	The student has been selected for the assigned team, usually to fulfill a direct placement request for a specific family or a specific school. When a student is in ATA status, only staff and volunteers from the assigned team can see the student's application in Global Link.
Regionally Available	RA	The student is available for any team in the region to request to area team hold, community place, family place or school place.
Area Team Hold	ATH	A Team has reserved the student to try and place him/her. The hold will prevent any other team from being able to place the student during that time. The hold will last for 4 days.
Community Placed	CP	A Team has committed to placing the student but does not yet have a confirmed family for him/her.
School Placed	SP	The student is placed in a school, however a host family has not been secured yet.
Placed without Papers	PWP	A family is interested in hosting a student, but has not yet been fully screened and accepted to host (ie- missing host family paperwork or background checks). At this point families are not allowed to communicate with the selected student.
Family Placement Confirmed	FPC	Host family has been screened and accepted to host, which means we’ve received complete host family paperwork (including signed PAF), and background checks have been finalized. At this point the host family application has been sent to the partner country to share with the hosted student, and host family-student correspondence is approved.
