something worth discussing
I called IIO today to check the status of my finger prints and talked to a very nice person on the other side.
my finger prints were done on 10/19 and as per avm they received it on 10/30.
the call center person told me that ins received my finger prints on 10/19. which means there was no delay at all in FBI sending them to ins.
also, she told me that finger prints are valid for 15 months. not just that, when i inquired whether the finger print quality was ok? she responded by telling me that had it not been OK they would have contacted us by now.
this leads me to conclusion that if the avm says, "we received your finger prints .... and are pending review" then that means that quality of finger prints is good and that your case has not been assigned to an officer.
she also told me that they are currently processing january cases. i am sure here she was either trying to be consistent with the JIT report or they are really processing january rd/nd cases.
for whatever its worth, i thought this is information worth sharing
