Not a Big Deal

Towards the end of yesterday, we were working a bit on our I600 paperwork that was found (workin in terms of making sure that it is finished, OK, and ends up in the right place). It turns out that our fingerprints have expired for the paperwork and we were asked when we could make it to the St. Paul, MN office. Well, we can't. They have a procedure for renewing fingerprints from overseas so... That's the route we'll be figuring out today, we hope.

And...why do fingerprints expire? I thought they never changed... We have had them done twice now (this will be the third) and they use a big, fancy, inkless, scanning device that can't possibly allow the prints to expire. How many times do they need them on file? One of those things that make you wonder what is going on - and this is State-side.

I know what you mean. We've been twice to USCIS to have them done. FBI/GBI have multiple sets on file for us. Why can't these places use the same set?

Good luck

I agree! Between three adoptions, local, state and federal prints I tease Bob that we are the most fingerprinted NONcriminals in NY!! And you're right, they haven't changed yet...hmmmm, surprise! NOT!
