USCIS... for the record

Just for our own records and anyone interested in a time frame for future reference.
We sent off for our immigration approval on July 10 and received our bio-metric fingerprint appointments today!! Sure put a smile on my face to see an envelope from Homeland Security in the mailbox!  Not a BIG deal really, but is a very important step in the grand scheme of things and couldn't proceed without it so am happy to rejoice and jump up and down with happiness :-))
Appointment  is for August 16, but on our last time around we called and asked if we could come earlier and they said we could come and be worked in, which worked very well, was in and out in 30 minutes! So thinking we will try that again :-)
