Sibling's application to StAg5
Hello everyone, I applied to stag 5 and helped my father to do the same. My sister was too lazy to apply at the time. She has recently become interested in applying. I was hoping to ask for advice on simplifying her own application.
She's not in a rush though, and it's been about 30 months since my father and I applied. So I was thinking it might be better to ask her to wait for a response on my dad's case. I reason that if she has his certificate she would likely have to gather and submit much less docs than my father and I did. Otherwise, given the time that has passed since we applied, she would have to request fresh copies of the documents I collected, and the translations are quite expensive.
My reasoning is that if she has my dad's certificate available she might just need her own birth certificate, FBI background check. His birth certificate. His marriage certificate, translations and apostilles of each.
Would that work? Or would she need to apply with the entire set of documents that I collected? Both my grandfather and great-grandfather were German. I went back all the way to about 1904 in terms of documents (which might have been slight overkill). Thank you in advance for any advice.
