We were awakened early last Friday morning by a phone call from our lawyer. Immigration had requested a letter verifying that our income will be "stable and permanent." We had 10 business days to deliver the letter. After exchanging emails with our lawyer on Friday we had the letter drafted and it looked like the process would be fairly smooth. Here is what we need to accomplish.
1. The letter is signed by Dave, the SI president.
2. The letter is notarized as he signs it.
3. The notary is authenticated by Tulare County in CA.
4. Tulare County's authentication is authenticated by the CA Secretary of State.
5. The CA Secretary of State's authenticaion is authenticated by the Costa Rican Consulate in Los Angeles
6. The letter is overnighted to us here in Costa Rica.
7. The letter is translated into Spanish
8. The letter is turned into the immigration office.
Steps 1 and 2 were done late Monday afternoon (our internet went out at home, so we were a bit delayed in sending it). However the "system" has been down in Tulare County the last couple of days, so we have been stuck. Our good friend and co-worker, Hector, has graciously offered to run the letter around to the carious offices in CA that it needs to visit.
Please pray the the "system" would be up in Tulare County and that the rest of the authentications would be quick and smooth. Pray that the letter then arrives safely and quickly and we are able to turn it in on-time. Finally pray that immigration approves the letter and grants us residency.
