Luckily my boss and co-workers are very understanding. As we had to get this sent off ASAP as soon as my meeting was over I took off on my trek. My work understood that I might be a little bit late due to the distances I had to drive and the waiting I might run into at each of the locations I had to go to. Here is a list of my trek that I did all in one day!
1st: to a copy store
2nd: to a notary to notarize it as a copy
3rd: to the county clerk to verify the notary was actually a notary of that county and put their mark on it.
4th: to the secretary of state to verify the county clerk's mark was actually that of the county clerk
5th: to the copy store again to make copies of all the documents going out to the consulate (60+ pages in our case!)
6th: to the post office to send it all off to the consulate!
And then we just got to sit back and cross our fingers! We discovered that due to the lateness of our I-797 getting back to us there was a little bit of a worry about a couple of our documents. We had been told the consulate would only authenticate (or put their seal on) documents that were within a 6 month period. Our Doctors letters and our police clearance letters had both been done in May! It was now November! We were holding our breath to find out if we were going to have to redo these! November 1st was the day our documents were shipped overnight to the consulate and the first 2 documents to pass their six month mark were our police clearance letters: their six months would be up on November 3rd!
