  3. How come they don’t have your fingerprints since long ago? They certainly have mine!
    And what would they need them for in the first place? This sounds serious to me…
    – I’d love you to ask why it’s done but then of course you don’t want to take risks in this 😉

  4. Too bad I saw your comment after my appointment, or I would have asked. They indeed got my fingerprints back when I was applying for the permanent residency. I had to drive to Houston to do it because the lawyers facilitating the process screwed up and sent their address instead of my address for the appointment so instead of San Antonio, they sent me to Houston. It is nice that they now have a location in Austin. The placed looked brand new, I was the only “client” there and they were really nice. The scanners they use to take the fingerprints are really cool and have amazing image recognition systems. Now I need to learn how many U.S senators are there.

  5. So do you know now how many _there are_, and do you have a date yet for your Naturalization test?

    Sorry, I’m fascinated by laws and migration, especially in a country where… well, you know. It’s crap around here.
