One piece of positive news was that we were able to inch a little bit further in our I-800A application process as Andrea and I were able to get fingerprinted by the USCIS department last Friday. This was a little ahead of schedule mostly due to sheer persistence on Andrea's part. We basically just walked in and told them we'd wait as long as necessary to get it done. Luckily, there wasn't a huge backlog of applicants, so we were probably in and out in an hour.
However, lest anyone begin shouting "USA, USA, USA!!!", allow me to rant a bit about the surliness we encountered from our processing agent. As we walked in, Andrea presented our paperwork and the lady asked us to have our IDs ready. When I pulled mine out, she advised me in no uncertain terms that she wasn't talking to me and that I should go have a seat. Then, they proceeded to fingerprint Andrea and then make me wait for roughly 30 minutes while the lady who actually took the fingerprints looked at her watch and stared into space. At one point, when asked who's next, our processing agent just shrugged and issued the most subtle of mehs. Below is an artist's rendering of our processing agent so that you can get a picture of what we were dealing with.
Anyway, at this point, the ball's in the USCIS department's court, so let's hope that they have somebody who has some sense of urgency. Once that's done, we'll be about halfway through the process which is outlined here. So, in the meantime, we wait.
