I used to live in LA area. Most of my immigration issues were addressed, processed and solved there.
Now I live Portland. Today I went for my fingerprints (N-400) for the second time. (First was back in LA)
I arrived 1 hour earlier. No problem; They, starting with the security officer, were extremely polite and friendly
The whole process took only 6 minutes (I swear! SIX MINUTES all together, since I set foot in the door until I went back to my car!) First time when I've done my FP in LA took about two hours...and about friendliness and politeness...forget it.
Back to Portland story: They ask me to fill out in pencil that usual form, and after that the security guy, gave me a number (#43) then he sent me to an IO who checked my papers and told me to have a seat. A few
seconds after I sat down, a woman who was in charge with the actual fingerprinting, look at me and said: "number 43"...
and I was the only one in the waiting room this was realy funy...two minutes later I was on my way to my car.
Nice, polite, friendly and efficient...Am I dreaming? Or should I hope for a nice change, that Portland INS people are totally different than the ones in LA? Does anybody had same pleasant experience with DO in Portland, Oregon?
