Previously submitted and accepted inked/rolled prints will still be valid for renewals from what I understand; they don't have to be electronic.

Thanks. That makes sense which means it's probably not applicable.

Someone above mentioned that an hour's drive to the nearest L-1 site shouldn't be a big deal. An hours drive at 60mph means a 120 mile roundtrip. At 20 mph that requires 6 gallons of fuel at $3.50 per gallon adds $21 to the cost of an already expensive piece of plastic. That $21, in this example, is not chump change to some and to others, it is no big deal.

That was a couple of years ago, and now L1, having a virtual monopoly, will be able to play any games they want to with whomever.

Us too. After three sets of ink prints, Mrs. Oldgringo got a L-1 set accepted by DPS. Her whole fingerprint runaround only took 100 days beyond the prescribed 60 day wait.

Really? I did not know that.

With the price of diesel (and gasoline) climbing on a daily basis, some of us must take transportation costs into consideration when shopping...for anything.
