Guess I forgot to update on here. Had my biometrics done on 09-03-2010 and my application has been approved on 10-20-2010. Amazed this whole process took only 4.5 months since my AOS took them 20 months. Oh well, no more worrying about this for years to come.

congrats. how was it?

Well...it was most bizarre!

When we received the letter to go to interview my husband called the field office - he explained our situation, bush alaska, expenses incurred (flights are pretty expensive and hotel accommodation because we can't do the thing in one day). The person he spoke to sounded sympathetic and told him we could come in as near to the appointment date as we could - exactly the same advice for biometrics.

So we tried to call the field office a day or two before we left but was unable to reach anyone so we made arrangements.

When we arrived we handed in the letter and waited. A short time later a lady appeared and advised that she wasn't sure anyone would be able to do the interview but she would see what could be done. Wasn't too happy at this stage.

A short time after that a gentleman appeared in the waiting room and asked why we were there - we started to tell the saga and he said he didn't understand why we had an appointment letter -he was adjudicating the file now and he seemed to be surprised we had received a letter!

I am not sure exactly how this could happen but he was friendly and helpful - I expressed concerns that I had because I thought I had covered all the requirements and was disappointed at getting the letter. He apparently was perfectly happy with package and was using it to train an employee.

He took my passport away and stamped it with a temporary stamp - all without actually being interviewed. I couldn't beleive it after all the stressing I had done - searching for more proof.

I am glad it is all over for a while - but I would still advise better to be safe than sorry - if you get a letter to interview gather as much evidence as you can.

Well.. he said he had no problem, he checked which address to send it to as we have a physical address and a PO Box out here. Noone here to deliver mail, so you go and get your own mail at the post office. Told me it should be with me in a couple of weeks.
