I got it stamped yeterday in SFO

You have to carry the following

1) Passport
2) EAD
3) AP(Advance Parole)
4) Approval Notices
5) ADIT style photos 2no's.

You can go in at any time between 8:00AM to 2:00PM and you have to drop your approval notice in the box. They will start calling you after 8:00am and collect all the above documents and they will give you back your passport after 1/2hr.


Good Luck!!

Thanks vkrao!

WHat about I-94? Do you need to submit that?
Do they return approval notice after stamping?
Do you have to reach early to enter or is there
special line for approved cases?

Thanks!

Hi U Kumar,

You need i-94 also, they will return your passport with stamp.There is no need to go too early, yesterday I went in there at 7:30AM and I came out around 9:30AM. You don't need any special appointment.
