I’m not a tech guy but I believe it’s something about virtual phone numbers vs “real” phone numbers. Virtual numbers can be spoofed and hacked so many financial institutions won’t allow those numbers for 2FA.
yeah we’re in the middle of doing that right now, that’s why Gemini gave me a lil myocardial infarction when it said I’d need to legalize before applying for my initial non-o. It’s been in State Department limbo for almost ten weeks now, despite multiple follow-ups.
Awesome, thanks Brandon. We're in the US, so looks like we're all set. We do plan to get the documents legalized but didn't think it was strictly necessary until after we arrived and wanted to apply for the extension. Looks like we're all good. Thank you.
