A collegue and I are both ND mid April,2002. I had mine in May 29,2003 while he is not schedule yet. What is the purpose of FP? For criminal history? When the time of approval comes, applicants may have stayed in the U.S. for 5 to 10 years. A serious crime is to be cuaght by GC application? Is GC bullete proof? It is just permit to work and stay.
Given the faster pace of approvals in the last few months, hopefully, people may be approved without FP. Anyway, finger prints will be taken before actual card is made.
