Did you visit?

Either way, you'll need the DS-230 and a I-600 (probably already did this with your dossier).

If you visited you'll need the I-864-W; if not the I-864. This gets signed and notarized by the primary pet. before you leave.

You'll also need a notarized vaccination affidavit which comes with the pink slip. Again, by the primary pet.

You'll want photo copies of your passports if you visited (they probably wont' want them, but nice to have) and a copy of your taxes & W-2's from 2007 certified as true and accurate copies if you didn't visit (and maybe go ahead and bring a copy even if you visited--we did and didnt' need them but for the hassle of an extra 4-5 pages of paper the peace of mind was worth it).

That's it! The rest should be given to you by your attorney (the sealed medical envelope, baby's passport, etc).

The embassy charges $400 for the visa application for your child, which you pay them first thing that morning. They take credit cards, but sometimes the machine isn't working so you'll want cash as a backup. We had it in new-ish 20's, but the machine was workign that morning so we used plastic and saved our cash for shopping.
