Wednesday 16 June 2010 - Phase 1 complete
After 18 pages of questions from my attorney (the same 6 for each of the three of us), and mugshots airmailed to them in Los Angeles, our case is now with the attorney! The airmail was much faster than I expected - I posted them at lunchtime on the Tuesday and I had an email to say they'd arrived at teatime (UK time, morning for LA) on Thursday!
Getting all the information together was a bit of a hassle. Birth certificates, marriage certificate, both our parents' dates of birth and birth locations, a full travel history for the last 10 years (I'm now wishing that passport control would stamp a little less smudgily!), and even basic sibling details. But whether all of this is needed for this particular visa I don't know, it's just the attorney's basic background information for all applicants I guess.
It turns out the attorney has a quite good setup for electronic communications. I scan in the appropriate documents (eg birth certificate), label accordingly, stick it in an email, then I log into their system a day or two later and see that document checked off. There's also a history of emails to and fro which you can read through - I have my own copy anyway but again it's good to know they've received something you've sent.

About Me
My attempt to get an EB1a visa for the US, a person of extraordinary ability, which gives a green card pretty much immediately, and there is no waiting period unlike most other visas.
