My brother, there is no spying, it simply show that you are doing your homework well.
You don't need an attorney, but get your identification documents notarized e.g international passport then fill the forms and sent to their office when you have a file no. you can use it to request for your transcripts to be sent to the evaluation office, I'm yet to send my transcript to them too. Certainly, you can process for your wife too but separately because each person will have their respective file or case no.
Yeah, all originals were returned during or should I say after the interview but get another notarized copy to start processing it now, it should even help with the interview as part of adaptability points.
Good for you, your points will be 8 for children if delivered before interview, in my own case the no. 2 was in the tommy for the interview so it didn't count.
You now have up to ten posts, I guess you should be able to send PM now so that we don't spam the thread with your personal questions.
Cheers.
