Note:
- We added explanation letter including evidence of several failed attempts in getting a Police Clearance on time, and promise to update as soon as we get one. Since my parents never went back to home country and was only out for 2 weeks since moving here we were confident this will work (At this time we had been trying for about 2 months). Thankfully we got the PC eventually.
- Even though I added myself as a representative, I was only sent the AOR, Finger print request was sent directly to my mom's email address. I also had a hard time accessing their application with the representative information, I ended up just monitoring their individual email address to track it.
