Once I used video chat to verify documents it went smoothly. I do not know the hours that someone is there.

Process
January 31, 2025

It took me two days to complete the interview. Because, when it came to photos of my state ID a social security and facial recognition was kicked out numerous times. I believe it was based on discrimination as name is hispanics.

Don't let it intimidate you
January 30, 2025

At first I was a little worried and irritated that I was having to upload so much documentation and take selfies. It was pretty daunting and took up quite a bit of my time. But once it was done, now I can sign in with ease. Yes, I still have to take a selfie to prove it's me - which I wish that I could just use my face sign-in. But at least they prove it's me and not someone pretending to be me signing into my account.
