Sorry for the delay in posting my approval. Me and my wife case been approved on 9/10/01 and AVM updated on the same day itself. I was busy on that evening and didn\'t get a chance to log on to internet and thought of posting next day morning. Next day is 9/11/01. The biggest tragedy happened in our life time. Saddened and depressed with the catastrophe occurred on 9/11 and no mood in posting my approval(Usually it is a good news but my happiness last for only few hours) and waited for few days. Then I thought wait for few more days until to receive courtesy copy and post the stamping experience too at the same time.
I received my courtesy copy yesterday(9/20) because I am living in west coast. The letter was postmarked on 9/14 though AVM message says they sent notification on 9/10 itself.
Went for stamping this morning at Portland,OR. Reached there by around at 7:20AM and parked the car at union station which is across the Federal Building on Broadway. I paid for full day($8) and got at Federal Building at 7:30Am. There aren\'t many people in the line there may be about 20 people in front of us. We got inside after security checking at around 7:45AM and got the token. We are the first in filing I-89 this morning and called on the counter 3 at around 8AM. The office was a very nice guy and informative. Taken finger prints, I-94 card, two photos and courtesy copy done all paper work and stamped our passports and gave them back. My passport is valid until 8/02 but he put a expire date on the stamp as 9/20/02 exactly year from today and told me that if I don\'t get a plastic card before my passport expires come with the new passport for stamping again. I know in NSC jurisdiction in some cases plastic cards taking more than a year but in VSC area as per latest trends it is taking between 1-2 months. I am not is a hurry to receive plastic card soon which makes me to join my client as a employee with a big salary cut. I hope they still offer a job for me after a month or so!
I am glad to answer any questions if you folks have. I am not going any where I will stick to this board as long as I can and keep update the VSC Tracker
I am looking for person who interested in maintaining/updating the VSC tracker though. If any one interested please send me a private message or you can post here.
Finally LOT of thanks all active participants on this board for making this board one of a kind and great successful. And I am grateful to Mr.Khanna for providing this board which gives opportunity to share the information and MYLADOOR for maintaining trackers.
