Question for those who didn't have a direct visa grant and need to submit additional documemts. Is it advisable to send an email to the CO for your questions? I sent my questions to the CO via their email address [email protected] however i received an email notification that it not valid anymore and it should be send to [email protected]. Anyone who encountered this? Also when sending additional documents, is it preferred to be in the IMMI system or thru their email?
Thanks in advance for the help!
