Allaleujah!!!!!
Finally I am hearing of someone who got their passport stamped at Baltimore and hasn't received the card!!!
I got mine (and my wife's) stamped at Baltimore on Sep. 25th, 2002. My wife's card was ordered on October 30th and she received it on Nov. 9th. Mine, however, is in the unlucky stack! I must have called the IIOs about 2 times, so far, getting the same answer "It is is card production area but NOT IN the computer yet!"...
Don't know what to do. Though I understand that the actual card is more of a formality than anything else, it is hard to digest that INS would approve the AOS petition but not follow it through to the very end.
