Wow! That was a lot of new pages in the last few hours since I checked the forum this morning.
Congratulations to everyone who has reported getting their PERs since then and again all the best to everyone still waiting.
Always+ve's friend has confused us all quite a bit now. We have already submitted originals of most of the documents. The only notarized copies I had sent were high school diplomas, passport and my degree, none of which I would be too comfortable sending the originals of. I think someone who has ND as their VO should definitely send them an email asking them to clarify what it is they want. I still don't understand why they send something so important through snail mail though, especially since they obviously have our email IDs.
I agree with Bindu about the banks not giving correct information about the BDs; in India or anywhere else. I approached my bank to find out as well and they told me on Nov 25th that it hadn't been cashed when in fact it was over a month before.
Wayne, don't bother about the negatives, I got 2 negatives just for posting about my PER ???. You know you have a huge fan base here and it is only because of the 168 hour limit that you haven't crossed a few thousand +ves already.
Here's to another day filled with PERs. ;D ;D ;D ;D
