Have they changed the forms since we sent ours back? Not heard of gluing the pic to the 156?

As far as what we did - he doesn't send it in.... he takes them with him to the interview and they staple it to ppwk and have him sign his name over it.

Have him read a bit on VJ - maybe reading what went on with ppl that actually went through the process will help him?

Can't wait till your POE date is up too!!!!

"DO NOT WRITE IN THIS SPACE"

it says they'll glue or staple it there... but that's for them to do. If nothing else, ask him to bring them with and then tell the person at the window... his fiance and the crazy ppl on vj told him not to glue it - is that right? LOL and see what they say. :) We didn't do it, that whole right side seems to be for 'office use'.

Isn't it crazy how insane they make us - for fear of messing up?!?!
