Still Waiting approval notice.
Just walked today (16th July) into the USCIS office here in Memphis,TN to get my passport stamped. Went in around 9:30. Took a copy of USCIS email and the approved online message. Got the token but being a Friday USCIS here issues lot of EAD's. The number was not moving quickly. So went back home and had breakfast. Got back again around 11:50 and the running number around 5 less than mine. For my luck as soon as I entered and was looking for a space to sit, they called all the numbers that were before me and guess what, 2-3 people were not even present there. So next was mine. No questions asked, gave them my original receipt (The yellow one which the attorney sent to me after filing I-485 at VSC.) and the online message+the email copy to them.
No questions asked, passport stamped and they got my index finger print. Need to sign on it as well. Asked my spouse's file status and she said there is an RFE on it and I need to talk with my attorney. So not that much bother'd since I am the primary applicant and being approved.
The best part is I tried to get this done on 14 th July (seen the approval message at 14th early morning 3:30am stating got approved on 13th July 2004) but the officer said the National Database has not been updated yet
The officer attended my case was not too specific on my "courtesy copy" or my "original copy".
I am yet to hear from my attorney stating my case is approved and my spouse has an RFE etc.,
Good luck to all. Thats all folks. You all have a great weekend as I have to be travelling out of the country this saturday on business.
