after i mailed in a NOD and faxed it back in July 2013, i did receive the green postal reciept plus the fax receipt.
yet as of today, never received anything else from VARO about it.
went i got an attorney, by recommendation by one your fav IMO doctors, and the attorney filed paperwork and 21-22a and said a green postal receipt came back.
the attorney did mail me copies of what was sent but for some reason, a copy of that green postal receipt isn't sent to me and i've requested it 3 times. strikes me as odd.
nor have i received anything from VARO about these papers this attorney says were mailed.
i've emailed VARO IRIS to requesting status of the NOD, and the 21-22a. they only reply they are busy catching up due to that shutdown.
i ask, as i don't want the VARO coming back and saying stuff wasn't sent or they didn't recieve it. there is a dead line for that NOD as you know.
my question is, if i have the green postal reciept for the NOD i mailed in, is that OK?
second question, why wouldn't an attorney send a copy of the green postal reciept along with the papers that supposedly were sent?
