Hey guys, when I submitted my application, I forgot to include the receipt from the shop I got my photo from. I only submitted the digital picture as is and filled in the name/address of the store as they had asked in the form. I didn’t see any requirement to upload a receipt so just wondering if this will be an issue?

I’m waiting too

Did they request your fingerprints? Or is your background verification complete?

No requesting fingerprints. Background verification before test invite.

That's weird, may be try order gcms notes, it'll trigger them to open your file
What's your aor?
