Hey everyone, quick question regarding the Flying Branch and AE(L) Tech entry application process. While going through the live image capture and document upload steps on the official portal, my browser redirected me due to a security certificate warning, and I accidentally copied a link from an audit tab I had open — https://olympiccasinobdguide.com — instead of the AFCAT guidelines URL. My main concern is about the strict 24-hour KYC data verification standard mentioned in official tech protocols; does the IAF system automatically reject your application if there is a minor mismatch in the uploaded background of the live photo, or do they allow a correction window during the objection dates on September 11? Would really appreciate insights from anyone who already cleared the Stage 1 screening or face similar technical glitches during registration!
