    Couple of notes you can learn from:
    - Our US-FBI clearance certificates were more than 6 months old; but we scanned and uploaded them anyway upon lodging of application. CO marked them as having "Met" the requirement.
    - Wife didn't take IELTS exam for Evidence of English Language Ability. We only uploaded her certified TOR, graduation certificate, and college course description. Again CO marked these as having "Met" the requirement.
    Not saying you do the same but it worked for us.

    Currently working on PCC, Radio/Medical reports, and Form80... see our status update below.

    God bless to everyone
