Hi,
For those who filed or who is about to file their application this February, Isn't that in Form 5690 which is the documents checklist, Certificate of Employment and Educational Credentials are no longer listed right? When I check the form is has been last updated 01/2012. Am i right.
Yes you are right. In the latest checklist those items are no longer required. Good for us applicants. Less paperwork and less weight on the application envelope so maybe cheaper courier fees =)
It's a policy that applications are assessed based on the regulations in effect at the time the application was received. So it is always better to use the latest checklist. You can never go wrong with that.
Good luck on your application!
