I forgot to mention this in the last post…I got a call from a security officer at the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration office today informing me that my 98-year old Grandmother (she had a birthday last month) needs to be fingerprinted after all. This officer was working on our I-600A application and said everything is in order except this minor detail. If you’ll recall, my Grandmother lives with us and we were originally told that she did not need to be fingerprinted due to her age. It turns out that we were misinformed. UGGGHHH! The immigration authorities have to run fingerprints to confirm that a criminal is not living among us. Luckily, Rob and I passed with flying colors, but Grandmother is still a suspect. I only hope her prints haven’t worn off her fingers after all these years. LOL! I suppose that’s not possible, but one can wonder. A stiff breeze could blow my tiny Grandmother over but they have to rule out she’s not a criminal. WHATEVER! You can’t argue with the government.
So, as instructed by the officer, I sent off a letter requesting the earliest possible fingerprinting appointment. They are supposed to get back to me right away with a date & time. Grandmother actually thinks it’s funny and is looking forward to her upcoming trip to the immigration office. She reminded me that I have no idea what she does all day while we’re at work. She could be up to all kinds of criminal activity for all we know. She’s a hoot!!
