Hi,

I was going through some of the previous messages just to get some idea of the sequence of steps in this process. So if I understood correctly, the timing of the test invite is not linked to a 'completed' background check?
For me, it was not linked. I am unsure if they "forgot" to send me the FP request in July when my spouse's BG check was completed. Anyway, I received both the test invite and FP request same time.

Does anyone know if there is a requirement on where we should place the camera during the test? I used a external camera. When I took photo of my face, I lifted it so my face is in the center of the green circle. When I wrote the test, I placed it on the desk. The angles of my face is different, is this going to be a problem?

Shouldn't be a problem as long as picture is clear IMO.
