thanks, so interestingly, couldn't get it to work so i restarted the phone and got a welcome message telling me the service is active. thinking great

look back shortly after requesting a one time pin via sms and i'm not connected, try playing around and restarting phone again and no luck.

Switched to my work phone hotspot and works instantly. So may have issues with home Wifi but all good on work hotspot.

not ideal but should enable me to apply for GT.

Thinking of starting the ITIN journey. I have seen from earlier that Maza is the cheapest. Is it still the case or is SH Studio better?

Willing to be patient, won't be getting another US card for a while yet.

I believe Maza is closed - I have done SH Studio for me and wife - $395 US - not cheapest but super easy and quick on their end - rest is up to IRS

I went with the Hilton fee free, but got asked to call to obtain a decision. Is this normal?

I’m got my 5th approved last night and still needed to call - they just wanted to confirm my ITIN and ask to send in with Passport
Very normal

Look on fiver - you may be able to find a service that can do it much cheaper

thanks, pain when the wife needs to actually do something. Assuming they will ask her for proof of address being first GT and passport then.

Does she need to be careful with what she says? if i prep her that she now lives in sunny Vegas I assume she can't really say anything wrong.

Maza has long since died unfortunately. You can do it yourself on the cheap - someone here did - possibly Georgie.
