Fingerprints...Check!!!

They are done! Our appointment at USCIS was at 10:00am this morning. They were punctual, and the whole appointment went quickly. My husband was fingerprinted by one man, and I was fingerprinted by another. Joel went back before me, and yet I finished first. Hmmm. Either the man who did my fingerprints is just seriously experienced and didn't need any "do-overs", or I am going to get a big REJECT on my fingerprints being able to be read. The man who did Joel's fingerprints was very cautious, had him rub his fingers with this spray stuff several times, deleted several prints due to poor quality. Not my guy. He just did the fingerprint, ignored the flashing red light that said, "Match warning!", and went on his merry way. Each print had a score of some sort, and mine were all between 58-64. Joel's were in the 70s and 80s. What does that mean?! Has anybody out there had their fingerprints rejected? Have you had to go back? Does anybody know what the scores mean?

As we were leaving, I asked about how long it would take to get our 171-H. The man said if I had questions, to go around the corner and talk to this other lady. Hmmm. Does anybody out there know about how long one waits for a 171H? I'm sure I could look it up on the internet, but you all are much more resourceful.

Now what is on the to-do list:
--finish up photo pages for our dossier
--obsess over the mail like a mad woman from tomorrow on until I receive that 171-H
--go to our state capital and "certify" everything
--go to a copy store and make 3 copies of everything
--send to AWAA!

Does that sound right? You all may know better than me if I am missing something.
