I got a call for interview last week and it went off well. The officer asked for a few documents and then congratulated us and asked us to wait outside. After 1/2 hour she came out and gave us the stamped passport.

By the way, a week before another friend got approval notice and went there. He and his wife went at 9:00 clock and the line was really long - they went inside but left after 2:00 pm, as they did not call them yet. They went back the next day at 6:30 am and got it by 8 AM.

All the best...
 
Thanks JasonDavis!

With your reply I knew what to expect.

Passports (wife & me) stamped on 08/05/2002.
Got in at 9:00 am and got out at 3:10 pm.
INS doors close at 1:00 pm (it says 3:00 pm on notices) but processing continues until numbers are completed.

Good luck to all!

Form I-89 (you get it at their office - fingerprints & signatures on it)

No questions asked.

3) Can stamping be done on any day and what time does INS open?

Monday through Friday (except 3rd Friday of the month). INS opens at 7:00 am.

It is FIFO. Get there early 6:30 am-7:00 am and you will be out in no time. It took 5-10 mins to get stamps when our numbers were called.

Hope that helps!
