My partner did call back on Thursday afternoon and the permanent residence application (only) is going back to Washington via diplomatic bag, so all my information, passport, birth certificate, etc. will be protected. I'm probably going to wait it out, as it may get to Washington where someone may look at it and see that I have the federal background check and don't need anything else. If not, then when I get the letter, I will call the Washington office and find out what I need and where to get it.
I work in what is basically a customer service part of the health insurance industry, and we try very hard to give correct information, keep good notes in our systems so the next person knows what the last person said to a caller. So, getting totally wrong or conflicting information really bugs me!
