Today was a busy day for us--it was our Fingerprinting Appointment Day! We had filed our I-600a form with the Department of Homeland Security (Citizenship and Immigration Services) on February 28th and our appointment wasn't until TODAY! So, after an over three month wait we got up early this morning and drove to Charlotte (the only office in NC where you can be fingerprinted). We had appointments scheduled at 9am and 10am. But, it was similar to the DMV where you go in and they look at your paperwork, give you a number, and tell you to have a seat until your number is flashing. So, after waiting for about an hour and a half we were called up and "fingerprinted." It was pretty uneventful to say the least! I'm still not exactly sure why we had appointment times??? Oh, well, bureaucracy at its finest! :) No other news to report...the wait continues!!!! UGH!!
