Just have time for a quick update before I get back to work. R was finally able to get a hold of someone at USCIS yesterday and was told that it is not unusual for people to miss their original scheduled appointment. We can go any following wednesday after the original appointment date (so yes, you were right Gretchen about the sentence at the bottom of the letter. what confused us was the other sentence in bold letters saying that if we missed the appointment our application would be voided) as long as we had good reason for missing the original appointment.
R asked if living six and a half hours away from Milwaukee was a "good reason."
So, we are now going to leave on December 26th for Wisconsin and go to USCIS for fingerprinting on the morning of the 27th. R was told that as long as we explained why we missed the original appointment, we should not have any problems.
So....things are much better around here, at least in regards to the fingerprinting. Now the count down to christmas must get these orders out and where the hell is UPS part of our lives, that is a different story!
Thanks, everyone for your kind words of support and advice. I have no idea what I would do for "adoption support" if I did not have all of you in bloggerland!

I'm glad it is working out and you can go next Wednesday instead. I guess we are lucky we have a USCIS office right in Chicago; an hour plus away, but it's also right near where I work. Are you closer to Milwaukee or Detroit?
Thank goodness! So, now you will have a nice post-Christmas road trip. Seriously, that sounds kinda fun!
Glad to hear it's all working out ok, even though you still have to go to Milwaukee.
YAY..glad to hear it is all working out..I am out shopping right after Christmas for your little one : )
