Over the next couple days we are anxiously waiting some final paperwork to arrive. Our goal is to travel to Washington, DC on Sunday, June 12 and apply for our VISAs on Monday, June 13. But - we still need a few things to arrive.
- US State Department has our FBI background checks to be authenticated. According to the website they should be completed in 15 business days. That is Monday. I then sent an overnight envelope with the paperwork so we should have by Tuesday or Wednesday. The authentications then need to be translated. There is no way to check the status other than watching for the tracking number of the mailing envelope to become active.
- Scott's birth certificate finally arrived. It too has to be authenticated. It was overnighted yesterday to a friend who lives in Washington who will take it Monday to the State Department and wait on it. If we had known we would be doing this, we could have waited on the FBI letters at the same time. Oh well. The translator already has the birth certificate, but the authentication certificate will need translating.
- Medical letters need to be authenticated at the NC State Department. I am traveling to Raleigh today to have this done. Drop off by 10 and pick up at 4:30. And yes, when I get these they also need translating.
