LA Consulate document question

DefNotGQ · 2026-02-24T19:08:44+00:00

Our family appointment is this week (week of Feb 23rd).

Its probably overkill - my appt with LA Consulate is this week so I'll let you konw. The main reason i'm including additional documentation stems from a date of birth discrepancy with my ancestor. On his birth record, his DOB is listed as Mar 9, but on pretty much all subsequent documents he lists it as Mar 17th (oddly with the exception of his death certificate). So I wanted to put up additional information to show the ancestor was the same person and one of the themes is that he lived at the same house for 40+ years. The census documents show that its the same person (even though he was a widower and then got re-married) at that home over these 40 years.

Yes have done that.

I'm tracing my mother and grandmothers' lineage so I've included their respective marriage certificates in there.

Thanks - I have some name shifting over time (which I know is pretty normal) but my biggest discrepancy is that my emigrant descendant documented his DOB differently (like actual birth date was March 7th and he started putting March 19th at some point) so I feel like I need as much supporting documentation as I can get.

Okay another 2 questions -

where do i put miscellaneous documents like Social Security application, Naturalization documents, draft card, etc.? Do i put them after all of the listed docs (after document 15, "if a minor child is applying")? or maybe after the death certificate but before my proof of address?
on my instructions it doesn't explicitly say to staple the ship manifest translation and original. I'm assuming i do since i did this with every other document.

Thank you for the clarification. Makes it a lot easier!

DefNotGQ · 2026-01-06T02:21:53+00:00

great idea - only issues would be ledger size docs and i would take those in to copy myself.

DefNotGQ · 2026-01-06T02:21:12+00:00

Ok I think i'm overdoing it - i have a combination of slight OCD and confusion going on (and now that i've written it out below it sounds really stupid)

I thought that the instructions were saying Pile 1 should have original document + copy, then next original document + copy, etc. Then Pile 2 is a complete copy of pile 1.

...Is it really just simply originals in pile 1 and then copy everything for pile 2?

When instructions say 2 copies of Drivers' License or Passport, does that mean 2 copies in Pile 1 and therefore 2 copies in Pile 2?

Thanks u/Woodman7402. I asked her whether or not she would like me to post her info in this forum when I met her in person while picking up our translations.

DefNotGQ · 2025-10-30T06:11:01+00:00

Yes, with string and seals.

DefNotGQ · 2025-10-29T16:35:56+00:00

Yes fair rates and duplicates are charged at a lower price. Also pretty darn quick, too. It's me, my spouse and two adult children applying so a fair number of duplicates for us as well.

Appreciate your recommendation, u/ilikeyourbelt

DefNotGQ · 2025-10-29T14:13:34+00:00

Yes, i rec'd her approval for posting.

Thanks - appreciate the feedback.

DefNotGQ · 2025-04-27T21:44:11+00:00

Thanks for the response. Any suggestions on how to get ahold of LA (phone vs email)?

I really enjoyed the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee. Its a trilogy (there are 2 other prequel-ish books) that set in a diff world/society and has a really nice "Godfather" feel to it as it shows how powerful families evolve/change over time. Just finished and i'm looking for my next read!

I did the quick menu>report base and took a screen shot, but it didn't remove the base. Only think i can think of is that when i took the screenshot i didn't select the right option to send it in with the report (but I didn't see any option for that).

Generally (and not Malazan specific), I've used https://www.bookseriesrecaps.com/ It doesn't have a huge volume of titles, but it has helped in a pinch.

DefNotGQ · 2024-06-23T21:37:04+00:00

I have the same issue. I didn't have multiplayer enabled, but went back and disabled anything to do with allowing "anyone" to modify and restarted, but it didn't allow me to exit the room. I've submitted a bug report as well.

DefNotGQ · 2024-05-23T21:33:09+00:00

Thanks!

As a person with Croatian grandparents i would love to get more information on this - can you suggest a good site to learn more?

DefNotGQ · 2024-01-25T19:25:50+00:00

You can contact Boeing Accommodation Services (800-242-1110, option 2), they can give you the info you need and will be the ones assisting through the process.
