Hi empott,yes b4 they allow anyone to send it to NSO but now,just done days ago,they put a rubber stamp on the front page saying "NOT VALID FOR REPRODUCTION' meaning no one allowed to go NSO to process it individually,instead the LCR really are the one who forwarded through NSO,and the LCR will give u a piece of paper that u can request a copy of it already
My experience last friday only,and LCR said to me that was the latest way of processing....sigh
