I’ve been checking the online portal tool as I’m still unable to link even with my UCI/app number. So far nothing. I applied outland but I’m physically in Canada, so I wouldn’t be able to complete them at this time anyway (ServiceCanara still isn’t taking biometrics).
EDIT: This must be my lucky day, I was able to link it successfully. Someone posted earlier on a different topic about always entering your name in all-caps, and I tried linking for the millionth time but used all caps and it worked fine!
