Definition

Application archived usually means the system retained your application history but no active process steps are running.

What’s usually happening behind the scenes

Archived states are often used after role closure, disposition completion, or long inactivity periods.

Why it stays in this status

Archival is commonly a terminal system state for that posting context.

How long it usually lasts

It usually remains archived unless an employer reactivates the record.

What usually doesn’t help

Repeatedly resubmitting on the same archived posting usually does not reopen review.

When action might make sense

If no timeline was shared, a concise follow-up is often reasonable after about one to two weeks. If a timeline was shared, following up after that window is often reasonable while continuing other active applications.
