| Feb 19, 2024 10:03 AM | Hello, I'm encountering a repeated error when I select "Mark as Complete" on the required documents section. It notes that the following fields need to be completed, but only specifies "-". I'm unsure what is going on, as all of the attachments are uploaded. I think it may be picking up on the "-" in front of "-Named Attachments." Thanks! | Common reasons the “Additional Documents Required” section cannot be marked as complete are: a required document is not uploaded, a file name has too many characters, or a file name includes special characters. It is recommended to check that all required documents have simplified file names. If you are still not able to mark the section as complete, delete the attachments from your application, rename the files, and upload the files with the simplified names. |
