the bad news has arrived the thing I was afraid has happened, got the email from ND that my bro is not the dependent student they have given 30 days to reply with additional info they have also requested the sponsor original birth certificate, marriage certificate and gradeXII certificate.
Really feel sad and sorry as I had received the same type of letter for my sibling- informing me that my sibling is not a dependent and asked my parents if they have any explanation within 30 days. They sent a letter in March, but after that no answer until now. (They didn't even send medicals yet for my parents as file was transferred in June 2012)
It's devastating as we have waited for more than 5 years to hear that news. AWFUL.
Best of Luck.
