in my email to the consulate, I asked if the local sherriff (ventura county) background check could be utilized in lieu of state or federal. Their reply, "either is fine". Needless to say, I printed that for the record. Like Tony, Ive given myself a few weeks (4) to iron any wrinkles out and to be honest, with James's comments and the ambiguity of the response I'm kind of reconsidering.

@Robert ******

can I borrow your crystal ball?

@James *******

as always thank you for your advice especiall with the L.A. consulate. I learned that I can have my Hawaii bank docs notarized. Was concerned about this due to Hawaiian banking laws. Cheers

Following, Im in yr footsteps in October from Thailand to get my first OA with a bank account in Hawaii...

@Tod ********

no, did not move. My personal opinion based on what I saw was that they are using the 90 day check in to cross reference the TM30. As when I presented the same document for my ED extension in May it was fine.

@Longy ***

I had a copy provided to me. When presented to IO, she checked it and it had not been properly sent to immigration and was not in their system. Now it has and that is what they told me to keep with my passport as proof.

Thank you everyone for your help, I'm going to just postpone until next week as there are too many variables and that I've budgeted time wise for any hiccups I'm still ahead of the 8 ball. Really do appreciate this group.
