Facts

When a notice comes, upload your written submission and documents by the date. Ask for a video hearing if you want to explain in person, giving reasons. Check the portal and email regularly, because missing a hearing notice can lead to a decision without your input.
Conclusion
- Watch e-Proceedings for appeal notices.
- Upload written submissions by each date.
- Request a video hearing if needed.
- Keep a copy of every submission.
- Ask for adjournment only with a good reason.
