Want to renew temporary resident professional visas. Need to verify requirements: 1) Does apostiled criminal background check need to translated? 2) Our education degrees were previously registered in Ecuador. Do we need to again supply proof or can this be checked at consulate? Do Medical Certificates from Ecuador Dr. and bank statements from Ecuador bank need to be apostiled? What is the address and name of person we need to send the application,documents and fee to? Thank you for your help.
