DCMight be worth having the conversation with Sven to have his coach, Aaron, endorse your promotion. He seems well respected by the people who have disputed your promotion. Disputes may become verifications.
JMI would like to go on the record and say I admire that you have not tucked your tail and run. I hope you find a black belt to validate your rank. Good luck.

"First degree BB:s should not promote BB:s and that should not come as a surprise to you as a brown belt. Sven and Nelson will get their 2:nd degrees in 2028 on April 29 at earliest."
HBAccording to which governing body?

JAccording to this belt checkers comprehension of what has been the general rule since before IBJJF was even founded.

"You can't get promoted to black belt in BJJ, by a 1st degree black belt. Even if it's two of them co-promoting."
HBLink to governing body’s regulations on this please.

"Legit profile congrats on the black"
"Long time friend and student"
"We're going by "generally approved standard here" and I don't know if this promotion is to stir the pot from early Beltchecker days but it seems these two are not yet eligible to make a black belt promotion."
"Know him since a while, rolled with him, know his coaches. Leaving the old comment for the future generations. --- --- ---Forgot to validate my vote here in the process so I do it with a bit of delay but I'm not deleting my original comment: I'm against the grain on this one I guess. For as much as I might have my own ideas about the "rebranding" of his coach from luta livre to jiu-jitsu (but then, I also have my own ideas about what differences actually are between the two styles nowadays), I believe that Heiko's coach choices are supported by very trusted black belts, and while this might not be a purple belt in the most "traditional" way, it definitely is a purple belt level in that sport that we all practice coming either from a LL or a JJ background, awarded by a very skilled and knowledgeable black belt in that sport that we all practice coming either from a LL or a JJ background."
"Legit !"
"According to the most agreed upon, universal standard there is (me and my personal opinions): Legit. "
"seems to be vouched by legit people + i've been there with my students, so i can understand. good to go! congratulation"
"Two one stripes should know enough to determine whether he is black belt quality. This site in general has an issue with that as you've seen, but I think it's silly to hold to the idea that two one stripe black belts can't determine what black belt material is. "
