Document Certification

Today we went to the Washington Secretary of State office in Olympia to get all of our notarized documents "certified." We could have mailed our documents to be certified, but I wanted to hand them over in person and have them handed back to me in person...it was worth the road trip. The purpose of the certification is basically to confirm that the notaries that notarized our documents are really true notaries. From here all these documents will go to San Francisco to be "Authenticated." Once our I-800 A form is approved and all of our documents have been certified and authenticated THEN our dossier will be ready to be sent to China.
