This message might not be appropriate at this site. However, I still write out due to some commons. My experience just for your reference.
My I-485 RD 10/18/2001 and ND 11/30/2001. My child will turn 14 soon.
My case has been transferred to local for interview on 3/5/2003. Around 3/18/2003, local INS required my child to do Fingerprinting just like us earlier, but the notice did not indicate specific date/location. My lawyer doubted about such a notice, as my child is younger than 14. We had no choice but to try. I took my child to ASC place, and the staff questioned the age and told us the system might not accept the information due to age but to input. To our suprise, the computer system recognized the information and my child did fingerprinting. One week later, we got interview notices scheduled for next week.
Will keep you update.
Wish your son get direct approval soon.
