hi, parkadam, thanks for the helpful info ... a couple questions:

ah yes the other thing I should mention is that your all documents should have the Apostille. | |

1. I never saw anywhere that a criminal record was necessary. I'm hoping this was just you taking extra precautions, going the extra mile. If not, how long did it take you to obtain that? I'm in NYC too.
2. I submitted my documentation of our marriage through the consulate. I'm hoping that wasn't a grievous error, based on what you all are saying about avoiding them. But one thing I was explicitly told was that the Apostille wasn't necessary (for our marriage cert and my birth cert). I actually have gone through that process in the past, and know it's a pain, so I was relieved. Where did you hear or read that you do need to get it?
Thanks again & cheers
