Thank God for your post. I was beginning to wonder if I was special
I had a similar experience as my signature will illustrate. I did my fingerprinting on 10/13 and recd that email a couple of days ago informing me that my fingerprinting review results were received 10/31 and further processing has started.
I saw so many posts here indicating that ppl got this email in a day or two upto 1 week after they got their fingerprints taken that I was beginning to wonder if I was special and getting special treatment in that my fingerprints or that of my wife were taking so long to review.
As I understand the process our electronic fingerprints are electronically transmitted to an FBI database to see if they match any known offenders and the results of this are sent to USCIS...
Now I believe we wait for someone to have mercy on our miserable existance and give us a visa # aka the I-485 approval aka the elusive Green Card.
cheers - the weather is not so bad this week in the NE.
