Biometrics

We received an appointment notice from Homeland Security, so today Erich and I went to the Immigration services office to have my Biometrics taken. Basically what they do is make you fill in yet ANOTHER form, (but you cant take your cell phone into the building, so you better remember your phone number, which I don't), and they take your fingerprints digitally (all of them, not just one or two like at border security) plus they take your photo. That fingerprint scanner is incredible. I was a bit worried because a couple of my finger tips are all dried and peeling (I think I need to wear gloves washing the dishes) and I can barely see my own fingerprints, but that scanner read them clear as a bell. Anyway, we're now back to the waiting game for the next step of the immigration stuff, which I think is an in-home interview of Erich and I. That may be up to 6 months away though. Things are processing though!
