We needed to update our I-800 for our "childs" visa... just in case we ever need it ;).  We got the biometric app scheduled by the USCIS on Dec 24, day before christmas.  We both wondered about that, but it say if you didn't show up, you voided your app and that we were NOT interested in.  So to Baltimore (1 1/2 hr drive) we go.  Only to have the door locked and a little piece of paper saying to report back after weds.  We were so annoyed to have 3 hrs of travel time for nothing, but.. what you gonna do.  Government has no competition and we have to do what they say. 

I just keep thinking.. maybe God is just giving us little little tiny delays so we may be able to endure the big one.  I know there are many parents that go over to their country to adopt, only to be told that they have to go home and come back again later.  Or Russia.. closing the adoptions to the US.  Heart breaking.

So on wed morning I spend time on the phone trying to get in touch with that office to see when we could go back in.  and then I did that again, thurs morning, and fri morning.  Fri morning I got ahold of a new person.  She was a little friendly (major surprise) (dealing with these people are way worse that going to the local MVA) and told me that we could just go again and drop in.  I asked for a phone number of the Baltimore office and she says that there are NO nada, zilch numbers in the office. 
What a way to do business. 

So we decided to take a ride and try again.  I was praising the Lord when the doors opened.  It was the fastest visit to the USCIS in history.  We were finished in 10mins tops.  What a Blessing!! 

We just HAD to visit Cheesecake Factory for our treat.  Although we have not eaten the cheesecake yet.. Today for breakfast :)
