I have had a big day today.

Original Birth Certificate arrived yesterday. Called NVC today just to see if they may have looked at our AOS checklist but of course they haven't. As an afterthought I asked if the Supervisor Review had been done on my Adoption Certificate. Oh yes they said, it was done on August 20th and it has been found to be acceptable so after all my work I don't need to send them the original. Confirmed this three times with them and then called back to speak to another operator just to double check. Sure enough it has been removed from the Checklist.

Then an hour later my Singapore Certificate arrived. I went into a frenzy - copied it, completed the Checklist pack, drove out to Adelaide Airport to Fed Ex and off went my package. $90.00 later they said it would be at NVC on Wednesday morning, US time. If they can scan it in by Friday - I know I am being optimistic! - we can get the clock ticking and wait for a CC. I feel quite relieved that I don't have to wait for anything else in the mail.

I so hope we can be there for Christmas.

Great news that your Singapore Certificate arrived and is on a plane now! Fingers crossed for a VERY speedy review of your checklist response!! :dancing:

I live in Toronto, Canada so can someone please tell me who make the cashiers cheque payable to for the AOS $88 fee? The website states it should be made payable to "Department of State".

I just want to confirm that there is nothing missing before or after "Department of State".

Also, once they receive my cashiers cheque, what is the next step for me to do? Do I just wait until they have confirmed they have received my payment?

Many thanks!

I have a follow up question here before i answer that? is the cheque a us bank account? it has to be in us bank account. coz you said you live in Toronto.
