this online process is daunting. I spent 2 days applying and uploading docomments just to get to the end of the application for it to say that my application is incomplete and if I wanted to make sure that it was processed, I had until a month later to do so , but it did not provide what was needed for the application to be considered complete.

I filled out half of 1 of my applications. I came back to complete and it freezes on the last q. The app itself isn't frozen. It navigates me to where I am on the app and then it will simply not intake the answer. when I try to move forward it says I need to answer then it continues to not intake the answer so I simply cannot proceed. other than this glitch it was working fine. Nothing on my phone is frozen but once I hit that page it's a dead page. It's been days now.
