After tracking down our DHL package mailed to the Costa Rican Consul in Washington Dc, and seeing that it arrived safely on the day they said it would, I put a call into the DC Consul to see what the progress was on it. After pulling us up on the screen, the very nice lady told me that they were not going to be able to cash the cashiers check we had sent them because they couldn't cash a Costa Rican cashiers check.....I did send it to a Costa Rican Consul...right?
Anyway, she told me that what they were going to do was put a seal of authentication on it that would cover what they needed to do in the States but that it would state that we needed to pay in Costa Rica the amount owed. When I get the papers, we are then to go to Casa Maria, somewhere in San Jose, pay them and they will put the final seal that we need on it. Then we can turn it over to the lawyer who will translate everything into Spanish and turn it into the Department of Immigration.
Once the Department of Immigration varifies that they have all of the required documents, and that they are now in Spanish, they will issue us a receipt. That receipt is proof of our pending residency application with the Department of Immigration. Then it is in their hand and we have to wait for them to approve, or deny, our request for residency.
I see the light at the end of the tunnel...I am just hoping I reach it before the train runs me over!
