Congrats!! kicking.gifkicking.gif

I would suggest calling them back up, right before they close tonight and see if you can give your email addresses then. If not, call back up tomorrow until you can. Shouldn't take more than a day to input your case.

Did you get the IIN and BIN too?

good.gif

And nope, no need to wait for optin confirmation to just pay bills.

I called again and was able to give them our emails this time. Just sent in the OPTIN email. Hope the DS-261 is avaialable tomorrow! Thanks again Saylin :)

This is why it's so much easier to just follow the email template. That way, there's no printing, no filling out, no signing, no scanning, no attaching. Just one simple email.

Hopefully the operator sticks to his word and gets it sorted out! good.gif
