A pleasant experience

As many of you know, Katie and I have had some trouble with our I-600A. The joke around our house is that we would like to "take our business elsewhere". .... I guess that's why the government stinks at customer service - they know none of us are going anywhere.

Anyway, today was quite the opposite. We went in, they immediately called us in for our fingerprints, we were done in 5 minutes max. It was a very pleasant experience.

Additionally, (as Tricia mentioned in the comments yesterday) USCIS use a very cool digital computer thingy for taking fingerprints. (Unlike the stone age ink pad that the State of Nebraska uses) It was impressive to see my fingerprints immediately on the screen upon my placing each finger on the scanner. It was moving around the screen in real time. Hard to describe, but very cool.

We would have taken pictures, but they make you strip down naked upon entering their offices. (No, not really....)

Needless to say, we're psyched that we can cross off another task. As far as hearing back on this, we've heard anything from 2 weeks to 75 days. So we wait.
