The security clearance is typically done after the fingerprints are taken and the processing on the 485 does not usually continue until the results of the security clearance are provided to INS.

Though my RD is late september 2001, I finished my FP in late May 2002 because Manchester has only one FP machine. I know of many guys who finished FP in Jan 2002 with same RD. Some of them had the FP done way before me with later RD.
All I am saying is .... Guys like me are getting screwed over and over again because of this procedures.
Don't know if its all worth it
