It Worked :)

We made the all day trek to Yakima to file our i-600a with the USCIS office today. It turned out to be totally worth the trip. We showed up a little early and waited in the car until 15 minutes before our appointment. The friendly security officer greeted us at the door and had us put everything in a tub like they have at the airport. I didn't realize that had you empty your pockets so of course Mike had all his change that he had to dig out. Then when he took out his money clip it has a small knife on it so that had to go the car. It was a little bit of a circus getting through the door but they were friendly and we made it ok. The lady that took our paperwork couldn't have been nicer. She was amused by me because with my anal personality I had filled out the form on orange AND salmon colored paper because I had seen references to both colors and I wanted to be prepared for whichever one they preferred. I also had 3 sets of additional paperwork. One set with statements to the fact that they were copies attached, one set without, and the original documents. Just in case. She took or paperwork and sent us over to get our fingerprints. We ended up waiting about an hour because of other people also waiting which was fine by me. I was just so happy to have it go so smoothly.
