Hello everyone, after lurking around for a bit I get the impression that not many people are getting called for interview to remove conditions. It looks like folks are filing, getting called for biometrics a month or two later, then eventually the 10 year card shows up in the mail without them doing anything else.
Is this accurate or am I grossly mistaken?
The reason I ask is that we are due to file to lift conditions in early April 2009, and had planned to take a two month vacation outside the US in July and September 2009. Is our vacation plan unreasonable? Do we need to stay nailed down here while they work on our case?
Advice and opinions appreciated.

No, your plan sounds fine. You can always reschedule fingerprinting, but that is usually within 1-2 months of sending the application. Don't let this process ruin your life/travel plans.

Thank you Tammi This has to be one of the top ten best advice I have ever seen here.
