Paperwork is going along quite well, at least on the surface! For the dossier, all of the documents that we are gathering have to be notarized. But wait, that's not good enough for Bulgaria. They need to be certified by the Clerk of Courts in each county that the notary resides. Oh wait, I'm sorry, that's *still* not good enough for international paperwork. Now that each notary has been certified, it has to be apostilled by your state. Then it can be sent to Bulgaria. Let the fun begin, as our paperwork has been notarized by people in three different counties. Like Stark County, in Canton...2 hours away...see I told you that was going to be a problem. Here is Rani's blog post for this date:
We received our ‘invitations’ to be fingerprinted in Friday’s mail - not a bad turn around time! Dare we hope that all of the processing of our I-800a form goes this well?
In the meantime, we have to start the process of going to the various counties in Ohio to get our notaries certified by the clerk of courts in the county of said notaries - a requirement for the apostille. Lucky for us, that is only 3 counties, and we live in one. Unlucky for us, the furthest one away has very limited information on their website concerning doing this. Still, gotta love a challenge…
