Sir after "Mark as complete" in the last stage, it's showing "STATUS: Not Submitted", but is also showing "1 of 1 task completed" and showing option for continue which again open the application with all the data pre filled and there's no option for submission. Please help me, how can I confirm that whether my application has submitted successfully or not? And if not then how to submit it.

[@toelumi]

There's a place to "Review and Submit". Click on it and it will submit. Make sure you use a phone, not a laptop. You will see the feature on your phone actually. It's kind of hard to see the "Review and Submit" button on a laptop. I hope this helps. Good luck!

[@avbharathtej8191]

Yes sir pls make a video on both this essays

[@bedisciplined7015]

After I click submit there is been error from their side and my application is not getting submitted? What to do?
