Summary as of 11/29
Sorry for a period of silence, I was busy doing the passport stamping and partying ;-)
The stamping day started pretty bad, I got a wrong direction from Yahoo for the Monterey Rd. INS office and as a result, came there at 5am instead of 4am. About 70 people stood ahead of us, about 20 more joined them before 7am. There was no parking, we parked on the street. No toilets, either. There was a truck with coffee, which made things worse for some ;-)
The door had opened at around 7am, maybe a bit later. There were 3 lines, we were #23,24 and 25 in one of them. Our time came at about 9:45. One officer was nice and the second was pretty rude. Well, who cares, that\'s the only job the poor comedian could find.. We were outta there by 10am with the stamps in. No scissors allowed inside, I had to throw away the small ones I had..
At 10am they were still letting people in. The schedule on the buiding itself says that it works till 5pm, not sure if they allow people till then or seize earlier.
See attached a new summary, I added a couple more people and update on approvals. Padhu, thanks for helping me out with tracking the approvals posted elsewhere!
