Fingerprinting appointment - check

We aren't a "GPS" party of two. I love my atlas, mapquest, and the challenge of trying to get somewhere using a compass. Still, I didn't want to get lost today...on the way to our fingerprinting appointment.
So I mapquested it. And then, just for good measure, I tried to find the phone number. I didn't find it. But I did find something like this, "The USCIS Naperville Office is really hard to find. So here are the GPS coordinates. Plus, it's right behind the Lazy Boy Gallery."
Without that helpful bit of information, we'd still be driving around Naperville (which happens to have a really neat downtown and a neat, independent bookstore. At least, we've heard the bookstore is cool. We ran out of patience before we found a parking spot), but the USCIS office is right behind (as in, the same building) the Lazy Boy Gallery. It does not face the street and doesn't even say USCIS on it. So I thank the nameless person on the internet who helped us find our way.
I've heard stories about the fingerprinting appointment. They won't let you in early. Not nice people. 
We were pleasantly surprised. The lady was very helpful and we waited for 20 seconds.
We expect the wait for our approval letter will be longer. Perhaps a month, so probably no updates on here for awhile :).
