SRRV Process Confusion Please Help

2 years ago

I am in the process of trying to do the SRRV application with the new EED exception but am having trouble getting guidance. I have contacted two PRA marketers. One wants to charge fees but won't even disclose the total fees despite the government paying the fees of marketers. The second is not playing games like that but I am having trouble getting direct and accurate answers to basic questions. Can anyone help with this who has been through the process or suggest a good marketer who can communicate accurately in English about these questions.

Under the new process if you don't go through with the SRRV you lose the fees. But I can't get a confirmation that you would not loose the deposit which in my case under classic is 20K U.S.

I have been told to put a local address on the application form. I don't know what to do there.

I have been told that the clearance letter that I can get from the sheriff's office in LA needs to be Apostled. When I asked what that was or how to get it I was told from the Department of State. That can't be right. Do I need to have the letter notarized? That means hiring a notary to wait in line for hours with me? What and how do you get things Apostled?

Thanks,

Ken
