Dossier to be Authenticated

This is for real this time. I FINALLY got it dropped off in the Fed Ex box. It will be overnighted to Topeka.

I got my approval from my agency coordinator that my dossier was fine. I got my last "Witness Statement" this afternoon. THEN came the most difficult part... getting it ready to send.

I typed up a cover letter to go with the dossier, wrote a check, prepared a return envelope and airbill, packed it all in the Fed Ex envelope and headed off to the drop box. Three blocks from my house I realized that I had forgotten to include my birth certificate. Back to the house.

I re-typed the cover letter, wrote a new check and made up a new envelope to send it all in. On the way to the car I realized that I hadn't stuck my birth certificate in with the dossier. Back inside. Now I finally have it all in the dropbox.

I hope this authentication process goes fast. For Guatemala I also have to send it to the Guatemala Consular in Houston. After that it goes to my agency.

My fingerprints will be done on Friday, June 15 in Kansas City. That is the soonest I can get it done. Then I will be waiting for my I-171H and my dosser to return to me. This is a lot of waiting!!!
