today is the 100th day following the date that we were told we would have a 60 day wait. we're still waiting.
today is also the day of our seventh fingerprinting appointment. this is really just a re-fingerprinting of the one we did in august 2008. they tell us those fingerprints have expired. apparently the department of homeland security thinks that our fingerprints change every year or so. actually, the whole reason that fingerprints are useful at all is the fact that they don't change. if they really did change every year, i don't think anyone would care about the whirls and loops that our fingers leave behind.
