Fingerprints everywhere

Fingerprinting appointment at USCIS. Everyone in the home, 18yrs and older participate. We’ve done this so many times, that the adoption officers will talk with us while we wait (that just doesn't usually happen :-) Gerald comments that the FBI must have our file tagged. Good news; the FBI purges prints and results after 15 months.
