We've gotta drive to St. Louie tomorrow for finger prints n stuff. Seems like all we've done for the past 3 years is pay money and go to STL. 

Oh I hear you .. When it’s our time for n400 we get the 3 1/2 hr drive from south of Springfield MO to Kansas City ..  minimum 3 times .. up to 6 times if  our applications don’t track same time for biometrics, interviews and oaths.

I feel like there are less "educated" people on the general forums lately. Whether that is because they've found a community on FB or reddit or aren't interested, I don't know. 

I can barely be bothered with reading those kind of lazy posts. It feels like they literally want someone to do the research for them and send them an easy link. OK, but are they so willing to hand over responsibility for knowing what pertains to their particular case? It seems lazy and irresponsible to me. It's like they want someone to digest it for them and then spoon feed them the information exactly tailored to their situation.

I believe we are in the same area. STL is 3 1/2-4 depending on traffic.

You will be just down the road. We're outside of Springfield to the west.

KC is the FO, but STL is the USCIS designated office for bio-metrics. Either way it's 3 1/2 hrs up and 3 1/2 hrs back. Sucks.
