C Reactive Protein and SED Rates labeled high in my chart but doc says only “slightly elevated”, how to tell?

I see a SEDRate of 25 and CRP of 9.3 in my bloodwork results.

Google says a 9.3 CRP is considered moderate, on par with widespread inflammation, autoimmune flares or active infections, but doc says “blood work normal, only slightly elevated inflammation markers”. Yet she mentions wanting to send me a referral (no idea to what kind of specialist yet).

Just curious how these results are interpreted clinically. I feel confused by her statement.

Officer said he would approve us that day but FBI had not yet migrated biometrics to new system

Our interview was today at the Dallas field office and went well. The officer told us that he would have approved our I-130 on the spot but that because there is a “biometrics backlog” he didn’t yet have my husbands biometric info in the system (that appointment was just a couple of weeks ago). He told us that once he received that, he would adjudicate the application and process it for approval.

We are wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what the timeline is like? And also if anyone expects this new USCIS memo regarding AOS applicants applying in their home country to affect pending applications like ours? **editing to add that my husband does have a visa overstay so it definitely feels like we are in the crossfire here

We submitted my husband’s AOS application for a green card through marriage via our attorney on March 25, and today just received word that our interview is scheduled for May 22 in Dallas, TX!!

I know this isn’t everyone’s experience AT ALL so I hope it doesn’t seem insensitive to post this here today. We are simply shocked and eager to get all of this over with finally, so this felt like a huge win for us today. Just wanted to share for anyone else curious about timelines. Maybe they are picking up the pace, or maybe we got lucky?? Either way it feels celebratory and I wanted to share with folks who can understand our excitement!

It’s my first mold and I think I did something wrong…

Surrounded the edges of my 3D printed snail with clay to keep silicone from running underneath. Now I have lots of clay stuck to the mold, which is still pretty tacky. In a couple of places it is tacky, but hardened. But in others, the silicone is more of a gel candle consistency. Maybe I used too much mold release spray?

Not sure what to do next, any advice appreciated!
