My agency quoted 6 weeks...I don't remember how long it took but I don't think it was that long because I don't remember getting anxious during that stage.

Regards,
Brandy

We received a referral before our dossier was sent to Guatemala. We flew down to sign the POA in Guat and the dossier had arrived at the attorney's office on the day we signed on 11/8/05 (took 3 days for int'l mail delivery).

Our dossier must have been registered and translated in about 3-4 weeks because DNA was then authorized and collected on 12/8/05.

Good luck!
