What is a paperchase?
Well - that's what we call what we're doing right now. Chasing down paperwork to assemble our Russian dossier. Hunting and gathering references, employment letters, photos, copies of tax papers and much more. That is what a paperchase is.
What is a Russian dossier?
A set of legal documents. Notarized & apostilled. This is what will happen to all of our paperwork we gather in "the paperchase." Also included is a completed home study.
What is a home study?
