Some things which are difficult to understand as per the instructions given in BLS are
1) How many photos? 6
2) Notary?
These days banks are not doing notary, but UPS is doing with charge of $5 each copy, so need to make sure you take only the required ones, its mentioned in BLS checklist sort order of the forms section
3) Shipping?
Have respective BLS location as per your state, for example North Carolina state residents need to send to Washington DC BLS location. Need to go UPS/Fedex then ask them to give two envelopes with one for return envelope which fits in sending envelope.
4) BLS Order Form, Airway bill number?
In BLS order form you need to give shipping tracking number which you have taken in UPS/Fedex if you select application type as postal, and for Drop-off and Courier Delivery Service select yes and there you need to give your return label tracking number. Dont follow the link to create airway bill number through BLS order form, its not working and you dont need to if you get shipping labels by yourself from UPS/Fedex.
5) Once you fill up BLS order form, they will send order form and their tracking number in email and also instructions given.
