Why this rule existsrationale
How to fix itremediation
Wait for the vet to reach ACTIVE, COMPLETE, FAILED or EXPIRED before filing. If it looks stuck, the cause is usually an unanswered 2FA rather than a queue — chase that instead. Done when the appeal is filed against a vet that has actually concluded.

Rules you will hit next
One other rule reads the vet state. Fixing one field to satisfy a single rule is how a resubmission trades one rejection for another, so read these before you change anything.
