Card received
We received our plastic cards finally.
AD: 4/3/2003
Passport stamp: 4/25/2003
Card Ordered: 8/19/2003
Received mine on 8/25/2003 and my wife's on 8/28/2003.
The whole process took 3 years and 3 months. Now it's time to put it to some use...
Best of luck everyone!
Card ordered
The online status changed today to card ordered for both my wife and I. Nebraska seems to be really cranking up on the plastic cards these days. I was expecting my card to arrive sometime in December based on 8-10 month time frame. Can't complain with a 4 month turn around...
The online status changed to day to card ordered for both my wife and I.
Approval: 4/3/2003
Passport stamping: 4/25/2003
Finally... :D
Good luck to all you guys!
Documents
GirishAk1, Thanks for sharing your experience. You mentioned that they won't return any document after stamping except the passport. Does that include I-94? What do we do without it when we leave US the next time?
Has anyone done stamping at Columbus office recently? I would appreciate if someone shares details on the days and timings they do the stamping.
I can go only next Friday. I really hope they do it on Fridays.
Thanks.
Got approval for spouse
My case was approved on 4/3. But my wife's was still pending. On 4/11, her case was approved too. My lawyer was saying that it was just a background check delay. I think it turned out to be the case.

AP in Cincinnati
I was tlking to my attorney in regarding AP in Cincinnati. But he said they are not accepting AP applications now and I need to send it directly to Nebraska.
It does not look like INS has stopped adjudication completely. In my case, they issued RFE on 11/22. I still don't have the details. I heard it on AVM. Online status has not been updated. It still says 420 to 450 days. Doesn't even mention FP dates.
My details are: RD 8/23/2001
ND 9/26/2002...
