USCIS Biometric Appointment!

"Once someone touches your heart, the fingerprints will last forever."

We have our last set of fingerprints to take. This time it is for our 1600A (Application for Advance Processing or Orphan Petition) through US Citizenship and Immigration. Our appointment is on July 22nd! It seems a little far away, I thought it would be sooner but I'm so thankful we will be in town. We have several trips already planned that I'm glad it's in between these summer vacations and visits. We don't have to drive to far- just up the freeway to Santa Ana.

After we receive our CIS 1600A approval, we send our dossier (which is pretty much completed just waiting until after the fingerprinting to do our final medical forms) off to be authenticated at the federal level in DC and then it goes to the Rwanda Embassy (in DC). Everything has already been authenticated at the state levels. After that it's off to Rwanda!!!
