Sarah MNov 17, 2022
@dean 1 Yes I submitted all documents online but it has not been reviewed yet.
Sarah MNov 17, 2022
@Vee A I already submitted all the documents online in October. Just not sure why it telling me to submit that stuff by mail. My case was not looked at yet. Is it just a generic status and will change once they start reviewing everything?
