We just completed the last bits of paperwork and Fedex'd it to Kate. It included our IHNFA application in both English and Spanish, our USCIS approval letter with notarized paperwork, notarized Power of Attorney letter, which gives our attorney permission to present our dossier in Honduras, and a letter to be sent to the U.S. Department of State requesting that Dave's birth certificate be apostilled. We needed this letter because he was born in Panama and has an international birth certificate. I emailed Kate a picture of Dave and myself which will be attached to our IHNFA application....I guess because the 40 pictures we have to submit aren't enough.
So now we sit and wait to see if we need to do anything else for the apostilles. Once that is completed, Kate will put our dossier together, send us a CD of it, mail it to Gladney for review, then they will send it to us so that we have it in hand when we go to the Consulate. I don't think this process should take too long but the entire East Coast is essentially paralyzed right now due to hurricane Irene, which we will experience tomorrow, so who knows what that means for shipping. Hopefully there won't be too much of a hold up. Dave is on vacation next week and it would be fabulous if we could get down to NYC so that we could get our Consulate letter then, but I am not expecting everything to be ready for us next week.
As far as tomorrow's weather is concerned, hopefully Irene will be downgraded to a tropical storm, we don't lose power and our region experiences little damage.
