Hi, actually can anyone enlighten me how to link my acc to gckey. been trying for 2 weeks now until i get logged out. Any help would be much appreciated.
The mistake I made was.
When it asked me how many people does this application have. I kept selecting one
The answer was two. Both sponsor and Applicant are counted . Everything else they ask for is pretty straight forward I used place of birth and family name
