So I've been lurking around the forums to look for a list of "other requirements required by the counselor" but am having 0 luck. Can anyone share their SMEF-COW experience and what other requirements, besides those listed in the website, were asked from you. I'd hate to go there and find out I'm missing a document or two. Thank you in advance! :)
