Bad Fingerprints! Bad, Bad Fingerprints!

We got a notice in the mail the other day that both my and my mother's prints were unreadable, so now we both have to get letters of good conduct for all jurisdictions that we've lived in for the past five years and sign an affidavit attesting to certain facts (we haven't been arrested, etc., etc.). This is no big deal for me, as I've been a Suffolk County resident for the past five years., but my mom has only been here for 3 years. Before that, she lived in Katy, TX. I got a letter of Good Conduct from them the last go around, and I'm waiting to hear back from USCIS/NYC Adoption to see if I need a new one, or will the old be acceptable.

I sent the requests and money to Suffolk County on Thursday. They're generally pretty fast. We have 60 days to turn this around.
