My parents are trying to adopt a little girl from Russia, and part of the requirements is that everyone over the age of 18 has to be fingerprinted by the INS, so we went to there Phoenix offices not even sure if it was the right place to go. Let me just say that their whole operation is just one giant clusterfuck. First we sat outside in this open air canopy (It was still 110 in the shade) while some very unfriendly security staffers handed out, I shit you not, little bowls that looked like they sometimes carried dog food so that we could empty our pockets into them, then you are led upstairs while you wait inside this little hallway before going to the metal detector which is once again manned by the "unfriendlies" (I think they are an alien species intent on spreading bad vibes) THEN after that line, we were ushered into the information line, which was combined with some other line that led up to the same window, only our line was *shorter*, which really didn't matter cause the stupid bitch manning the one window seemed to favor the other line over ours. Then we finally made it up to the window, and we tried to ask our question, but I guess the only word she heard was "application" gave us a number and ushered to another window and ANOTHER LINE. So the number we had was 570 and they were currently on 562 so we thought it wouldn't be so bad, but then after a while they stopped serving numbers at all. The other thing was that there was only ONE window being manned out of 8 yes eight ones that could be open, and there were about 150 people in this room, it was the worst experience. Fuckers.
