this was a problem for me also. Took forever to submit the application. Some things worked better when connected to LTE network on my phone vs laptop on wifi. Check your internet speed during different times of the day also
I love to hear that, I'm waiting now in Cambodia, applied for soft power on the 21st, I can only show 500k for the last bank statement, which is why I applied here, even tho the wait is long. How did you pass the time?
