Thanks, this is great - appreciate it. Are you going to physically send anything (eg: completed downloaded form or copy of last year’s form)? Or are you going to rely solely on the phone attestation?

I won't be sending any hardcopy form as a followup. That doesn't guarantee its own favorable results; 3 years ago I received the 7162 the SSA had sent to me here in Thailand...then mailed it back when I went to a U.S. Post Office when I was visiting relatives in the U.S....and it never got either sent to the SSA, or received by the SSA, or entered into the SSA database. I got a 2nd notice 3 months later......

Yeah, I think it's supposed to come from your foreign address. I reckon they won't tell you that in a follow-up. It's good that they sent a second form. You're lucky. They could have not sent it and you might assume the first one went through... 🍀
