We got our USCIS fingerprinting appointment in the mail today… Friday, September 3rd at 10am! Woohoo! That is the last thing that we need– our 171-H! It is nice to feel like we’re moving along, even if that appointment is three and a half weeks away.

You can go early. A lot of people do and they let you. We went a few days early but I know that people talk on the message boards about going several weeks early.
It's nice to meet you! Found you over at (in) courage. I blog over at Ordinary Inspirations: http://www.ordinaryinspirations.blogspot.com
We went in 2 or 3 weeks early and we didn't even mention the date to them. It was No Problem!
