Fingerprint time---again!

We sent off our letter to USCIS today requesting to be re-fingerprinted by the Department of Homeland Security. They make the immigration approval good for 18 months, and we got approval in December, so we're not likely to have to renew that----but the fingerprinting only lasts for 15 months and we had that done in July, so we've got to get them renewed.

So, another trip to Fargo and lots of waiting in a tiny room (last time with Canadians waiting to have their Green Cards renewed and a lesbian couple doing the same as us--wearing a vietnamese boy in a sling--no comment) to have the US Government assured that we have not committed any crimes or altered our fingertips since last July.

The one good piece of news, is our case worker from LSS said that you can renew your fingerprints once for free--so the only expense this time will be the drive to Fargo and back, and possibly one night in a hotel. Last time our appointment was at 8 a.m., so we had to go the night before.

No more news about Sweeti--I'm hoping that soon we will perhaps receive some pictures of her receiving the photo album we sent.
