It's Out of Our Hands Now

All right, our dossier finally made it to our agency’s headquarters, complete and error-free (ha!) this past Tuesday. They caught one more mistake last Friday that necessitated another trip to Richmond, both to pick up a new employment verification letter (the original had my wife’s hourly pay, not her annual salary), and head down the street to the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s office for another state seal. They’re getting to know me pretty well there. I then overnighted it to Grand Rapids, they received it Tuesday morning and promptly sent it out for authentication. Most of the documents will end up back here at the DC Embassy, however my birth certificate is probably going to the New York Consulate and our marriage license to the Houston Consulate.

Last time, we sent our dossier to the agency on April 3, 2003 and we were DTC on April 21, eighteen days later. If that’s the case this time, we expect to be DTC around October 16 (a Monday). We’re already on the October 2006 DTC Yahoo group, so we’re hoping that date holds. Would a late October log in date be too much to hope for? Stay tuned…
