Reached JFK bldg for 9 AM (Info Pass) appt by 8:30. They form infopass lines for every 20 min slot Increments, so going too early with Info pass is truly a waste of time.
There is a Immig officer at the door of Room 160 who checks your info pass appt, asks for reason of visit and issues you a token. After this he will ask you to go back to the lobby (using the back door) to sign and finger print your I-89, you dont have to fill it up.
After this, its pretty much a wait till your token is called. The Officer at the window was polite. The order in which she asked me to pass the documents -
Infopass appt & token.
485 approval Notice
EAD/AP & I-94
Photos (Some people before me were asked to reshoot their photographs inside although they looked the front facing new ones, over my curiosity a few mumbled that they were told that the photos were cut too big)
The officer then stapled all the documents into one binder after which she took the pasport and excused herself for a minute, she looked up something in the computer on another window and came back with the stamped passport with following things handwritten:
A number,
Expiry date
485 approval date
She mentioned that the plastic would take 4-6 months.
Also I over heard another officer advising a fellow stampee to wait for atleast two weeks towards changing Social security card (some thing about their data base updation). I plain forgot to ask.
Overall it was a two hour wait and was out again in the cold at 11 AM.
Hope this helps.
