Faxed my SS-4 today as a non-US resident — did I use the right fax number and address?

I'm in Pakistan, formed a single-member Wyoming LLC last week from North West, no SSN or ITIN. Faxed the SS-4 today and I'm now second-guessing two things.

1. The fax number.

I called the IRS international line first. The rep heard "Wyoming LLC", told me it counts as a domestic EIN application because the company is registered in the US, and gave me 855-641-6935.

The IRS "Where to file Form SS-4" page matches her: 855-641-6935 is for applicants whose principal place of business is in one of the 50 states, and 304-707-9471 is for applicants with no US place of business.

But almost every guide online tells non-residents to use 304-707-9471. Did I just send it to the wrong queue?

2. The address.

I used my registered agent's Wyoming address on lines 4a, 4b and 6. It's also the principal office listed on my Articles of Organization. But I actually operate from Pakistan, and line 6 asks for the "county and state where principal business is located", I put Sheridan County, Wyoming.

Is that going to get flagged, or is that just how everyone with a non-resident LLC fills it in?

Signed and dated by hand, return fax number on the form. I'm not looking to redo anything unnecessarily, I just don't want to sit here two weeks waiting for something that was never going to arrive.

Anyone done this recently?
