You need to apply for your visa first, then book your flight and pay for your quarantine BEFORE applying for your COE.

I believe you'd need the approved visa, not just the application form.

It sounds like you didn’t upload the documents, you have to click on the arrow of the selected file to complete the upload.

Did you remember to click the little upload button below the thumbnail after you dragged and dropped your docs into the fields? It's a 2 step process and sometimes people miss that you have to press upload on your previewed image for it to be actually recorded.

Wild! When I did it, I thought I needed the visa before the COE so I only sent in my visa application and they emailed me back saying they can't complete my visa until they got a COE application. The embassy website for LA says the COE application requires a valid visa though.. so good luck to everyone
