Fingerprinting Appointments :)

Great news! We finally have fingerprinting appointments. We have been excitedly checking the mail for about a week and a half now with nothing from USCIS. Today, I finally decided to email the public email account, since I have known a family who had their notice from USCIS lost in the mail, only to arrive right after they left for vacation. The family missed their appointments and had to have them rescheduled. I was careful to explain that we were not asking for any special consideration, but that we just wanted to be sure that we were not going to miss appointments while on vacation. The USCIS representative emailed me back quickly and told me. "We have far more applications than we have available fingerprinting appointments.However, today you both were scheduled for fingerprinting on Sat., July 28th at the Application Support Center in Charlotte. Those appointment notices are going out in today's regular outgoing mail. Kindly watch your mail for these important appointments." I was so happy. The date could not be more perfect. We will be leaving the beach early on the 28th to go to the NC mountains, so we will be traveling right through Charlotte. It will perfect timing, and Sean will not have to take any additional vacation time off later for the appointments. God worked this one out beautifully. I am thankful that I emailed the USCIS Charlotte office. We are hoping that everything arrives by Friday, so that we will have all of the necessary paperwork and can leave early on Saturday as planned.
