Hello all, I've been fortunate enough to receive two nominations to USAFA. One from my Senator and Congressman. Will both of the nominations appear in my portal? For example will it say "Nomination from Congressman XX District" and "Nomination from Senator XX"? Thank you all for your help.

That’s a fairly exciting title to your thread.
Well done on your noms. They will eventually post in your portal. Someone here will know how they are differentiated.

It got my attention! Lol
Haha just caught it. Thank you for your help.
Our son also had this and yes his portal shows who he received his nominations from. Congrats on the double noms!
I received 2 nominations as well for USAFA (Senator & Representative)- so far only the Senator nomination has shown up in my portal. I received a letter in the mail on Dec. 16th from my Representative that he gave me a nomination - but still nothing in portal. I guess they are just swamped and it takes time? I just wanted to make sure I get considered under both nominations. If I am understanding this whole process correctly - as long as I'm qualified on everything else (which everything shows up as completed and with qualified or a green check mark), then I am competing against the other 9 people that my Senator & Representatives nominated (as long as they are qualified on everything)? Is that how it works?

Hang in there. You don't know when the Representative’s slate was actually submitted to USAFA. USAFA may well have it, and has just not updated your candidate-facing portal. It will eventually show.
Yes, if you are fully qualified (has USAFA told you? CFA and DoDMerb are obvious, all the academic/scholastic/other evaluated elements are unknown unless they tell you, green check mark says they have it), you or one of the other fully qualified nominees on a slate will “win” the appointment that will be charged to the MOC. Don’t forget USAFA can also offer appointments to other fully qualified nominees on a slate, and charge the appointment to other nom sources they control.
Go read the pinned post at the top of the Nominations forum. That will help.
