Yeah I re-read that page a number of times but one thing I learned is that this whole process is riddled with subjects to interpretation and when the consulate website itself is built on WordPress and has dead links, I get a little skittish about slowing my already 18 month process down. That said, I've seen enough confirmation that it's just the checklist I need to send so that is what I did. Also to your point the long form birth certificate and correct police report recommendations you made I have also found to be an issue that I might have overlooked however those 2 things are already in process for me. Here is hoping thing go smooth.
Cheers
