Newark NJ Consulate

Are you sure you were supposed to send an application before an appointment? As far as I know with other consulates you give your application while your at your first scheduled appointment.

Not your first scheduled appointment in my case. I still have not submitted my originals.

In my case, Philly, they sent me a packet of info trough email with everything I need. Im assuming I bring it to the first appointment or if there is a follow up one after that. Just to play it safe Im going to bring for the first one. But now Im wondering , are we supposed to send it all in advance? I dont feel comfortable with that. I have to hand deliver it to someone or I will fret over where all my documents went to

they request copy of ancestor's bc and your id with application BEFORE appointment is scheduled. I guess it's only Newark that does this?

Im not sure about the other consulates but with Philly they didnt need anything from me in advance to schedule my appointment.

They are only asking for copies, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Hold on to the official (apostilled) documents, and bring them in yourself.
