How did the fingerprinting go?

Well, if anyone could take my fingerprints and have a legible result in the end, it would be the capable employee working at USCIS this morning!

“Have you ever had fingerprints done before?”

“Yes.”

“Have you ever had …”

“Yes!”

“Well, I wasn’t sure how to ask…”

She could tell right away that my fingerprints were not very clear and then proceeded to roll and re-roll them many times!  In my limited experience with such things, she really seemed to know what she was doing and do a thorough job.  She also seemed to think we would be ok!  We should hear in the next month or so, and we will keep you posted.

On another topic, I must say that The Department of Homeland Security Building is very intimidating.  I was nervous and everyone was speaking English and for the most part friendly!  It made me think that our various appointments in China will also be a bit nerve wracking.  I also had the thought that I should have more empathy for the immigrants in our midst and also the refugees that Becca works with.  I am sure they have endured countless appointments and visits to similar places when they did not always know the language and when the faces were not always friendly.

 He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing.  And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.

  1. Well it sounds like she was very thorough, and that she felt there should not be a problem this time. We will keep praying that there will be no more little glitches and our Lucy Joy will be making her new home in your home before Christmas this year!

  2. If you see multiple responses it is because this ancient one is having difficulty sending a comment.

    Glad the fingerprinting is done. One step closer. What is next.
