I paper mailed my F1 that had an issue and needed to be resubmitted. If you include the "denial" e-mail and any other paperwork you've received. Mail it all off along with a corrected F1. AND another check for $200.. They will put you up front. make sure you have copies for your records. Providing the Ask the experts doesn't say resubmit and we'll handle it.
ALSO: You're not lying. They require a Caliber in that box. Pick one and run with it.
