Hi, my application got sent to Hong Kong last month. Few days ago I received what appears to be a generic email that asked me to submit all sorts of documents
if I hadn't sent them already. If believe it was all given to Sydney in my original application, but shouldn't they notify me if something is missing? Also, do I need to do biometrics? I got AOR1 from Sydney December 7th, applying from China. I never paid for it because when I checked the online tool in August it said I didn't need it. Now when I check though, it says I don't need it. GCkey says they don't need it. Should I send payment for biometrics? Excerpt from the email below:
