    Reminder about AOR

    Any additional documents requested or DM out of London VO for new process applicants?

    I realize there is already a LVO thread but it can be cumbersome to scroll through and I know not all applicants are on the spreadsheet, so I thought I would ask. We have lawyers and we are not linked to mycic. I am not sure how diligent LVO is about sending out email requests for additional...
