Hi, just wanted to update that tim had his biometrics appt this past sat in SF-he got there a few mins early and they were all very friendly to him. He had to switch off his phone, fill out some paperwork (they only wanted name, address, SSN -the basics) and he had to turn his cell on to get his ssn (hub does not have a great memory). No problems, they were all very friendly, took his fingerprints and pic and that was it. WE ARE DONE for now and I can't tell you what a relief it is. To all of you still waiting, we honestly thought the waiting would never end (approx 5 mos from mailing I-751 to biometrics appt) so hang in there, I'm sure your turn is coming soon!!! Take care, averi :)

okay sorry , the enthusiasm got the best of me...i meant to say that we were done with this portion of the waiting game (which I thought would never end)-I realize we still get to wait for the card itself, but I am so thrilled to be done with the 'when is the biometrics going to be done' chronic worry I was doing. :wacko: You start to go nuts with the weeks/months on end with no update...
