I just talked to a member of our agency staff and she let me know that our dossier has just been received back from authentication!So, what is authentication?
Well, the first stop is the Department of State, where our dossier is examined, and the Secretary of State's paperwork is authenticated-- ie, the Dept of State verifies that the document really was OK'd by Oregon's Secretary of State.
Once the documents pass that inspection, they go to the Ethiopian embassy in Washington D.C. There the Department of State's stamps are inspected, and the Ethiopian embassy verifies that the Department of State's stamp of approval is a legitimate one. Once the dossier receives this final seal of approval from the Ethiopian embassy, it is returned to Holt and assembled into it's final form!
Whoo Hoo! One more step complete. We now have our fingerprinting appointment with CIS in 3.5 hours :)
