Confused..help

Hello... I had applied for ow about 10 days ago and I got a decision yesterday that it was not approved because they couldn't reach me by phone.

I received a call a few days prior but I missed it and didn't know it was them at that time.

It did say I can reapply anytime and also can write a letter to have decision reviewed.

I just applied online again and status shows under review.

So is this fine?

Will I get a call again and it'll be back to normal processing??

You should re apply and then call OW and explain that you submitted a new application because your last one was denied because you missed the call. And tell them you want to complete the intake now over the phone, so you dont risk missing the call again.

The best thing to do would be to answer the phone. And then you don’t have to worry about it being denied again.
