I am excited as this list is actually less daunting than the Homestudy list AND our agency is great because they do all the necessary "seals". 

I had to order my marriage certificate from Kauai, Hawaii a few weeks ago, got them in the mail..but then had to send to a different place in Hawaii to get all the necessary stamps for the dossier. So I got that mailed off back to Hawaii today and also saw that my I600A form did in fact reach it's destination at 9:32 AM via FedEx! 

So, Napa Valley here we come!!! We leave in 12 hours and I haven't packed yet!
