No Title
I did not receive my original as of yesterday (2/11).
However I went to the INS office with the courtesy copy, PP, 2 photos, I-94, EAD card and AP and got my passport stamped today. The stamping was done at Houston. I gave all the above mentioned docs at a counter. In 10 mins I was called, asked to sign at couple of places, right index finger printed and was given my Passport with stamping. Said card will arrive in 3 to 6 months.
Bottomline just take your courtesy copy and get it stamped. I have seen quite of few people getting stamping with courtesy copy. Never seen anyone asked come back with the Original.
