Anyone have any good ideas?
My contract ends on Friday, Jan. 23, so I was part of that grace period last year. Everyone here said wait till near the time to renew because Immi won't accept an 'old' one...so I did.
In November I agreed to stay on here and went down to the Yatap cop shop where I was put in a cop car, survived a fender bender with another cop car, got my fingerprints taken, sent 'em off to the FBI and promptly got 'em back. No known live boys or dead girls in my bed. I'm good to go.
I re-pack everything and send it off to the Sec of State of West Virginia and sit back and wait...and wait. Nothing. Wait some more, and still nothing. The boss is getting antsy. I go to the post office and they trace the envelope and yes, it did arrive in W. VA. on Dec. 29...and here we are almost a month later.
Any suggestions other than go half-way across the city to the Immi dept to get an extension while I start the whole damn process over again? |

I knew this would happen for some reason and sent two requests off. I got two criminal record checks and sent two different letters. Sure enough one got lost in the mail and was never found and the other arrived.
I also emailed the sos in my state and told them to let me know when they got it and when they sent it back. They did that for me and were nice about it. |

Thanks. I needed to hear that. I knew I couldn't be the only one. |

Could you have just gotten it notarized at the US embassy in lieu of of the apostille? Has that changed? |
