Hi,
My I-485 was submitted March 2006, no fingerprint notice, no nothing. I had an Infopass appointment yesterday and the officer told me that the fingerprint check was ORDERED in March but the notice was NOT sent to me. He couldnt tell me exactly what that is supposed to mean. The only guess is that they didnt want to do my fingerprinting early because the results might expire before the name check is completed. isnt that weird? That implies that they know upfront whos name check will take longer than usual, right?
Anyway the officer was very nice and set me a fingerprinting appointment at the local office. But I do not have my hopes high, you never know how long it woudl take for fingerprinting results to clear.
