Passport Stamping Date - 11/3/04
My experience at Newark was horrible. First the line (which is fine). I went on Wednesday because its Walk In day. Naturally without an appt, my turn took for ever. The lady who was issuing numbers took my passport and started chit chatting with the others, so people behind me got numbers issued to them before me. Then finally after three hours my turn came around, and the lady asked for my PP, I-94, and pictures. Then she asked me for my EAD and AP. I told her I am on H1, and she kept insisting that I still need to surrender my EAD and AP. Again without fighting I explaned to her that I was on H1 and didn't have EAD or AP. After 10 minutes of back and forth, she took my PP and went inside and told me to have a seat. She didn't fill out my Greencard application infornt of me or anything. After another hour or so a different lady came out with my passport and showed me the stamp and told me that I was all set. I asked if they had filled out my form, and all she said was that everything was taken care of. I really hope she filled out my form, because my LUD hasn't changed since the approval notice.
