To facilitate processing of your application, please attach a copy of this letter and the enclosed Application ldentification Sheet to your response and all correspondence related to your application. This will enable us to quickly and accurately associate the additional documents with your case file. Also, please note the following important response submission information: You may either fax or mail your response.

Each piece of correspondence submitted (whether fax or mail) must be processed, assigned, and reviewed by an EO Determinations specialist. Please don't fax your response multiple times.
