Fingerprints tomorrow on Broadway in Chicago
- Thread starter Chirl
- Start date
I'll answer my own question if anyone else is interested. I arrived for my 1pm appointment at 12.40pm. There was a woman at a desk at the door. She asked for my appointment letter and my Green Card. She asked to see my hands - both sides. She asked if I had a phone and I told her I left it in the car. Then I had to fill out a 1 page document with name, address, A# etc. She gave me a number even though there was only one other person waiting. There were about 75 chairs.
After about 10 minutes a man came and called both me and the other person. We went behind a half wall in the same room - it's all in one large room. He did mine first. He put a lotion on my hands and asked me to rub it in. Then he did my thumb, then 4 fingers together on one hand, then the other hand. Then he did each of the 4 fingers on each hand individually. He put each finger down and push it from one side to the other to get a full print. As they're being done it comes up on the screen if it was a valid print. He re-did one of my fingers. They'e done on a glass plate not classic black ink on paper thing. At the end he gave me a civics book. It just has the usual 96 questions with answers and explanations and an audio CD.
I know it's a detailed explanation for a simple process, but hey - I'm excited. It feels like it's really happening now!

Good luck.
