Hi guys, so following the lead of others, I made an INFOPASS and went to USCIS office today to get a stamp in my passport because I will be traveling outside of the country soon. To my surprise, the USCIS officer says she can give me a stamp, which would be valid for 6 months, but in that case she would have to take my Greencard! So she says: it's either the stamp or the greencard (she points out, in addition, that the greencard is the better option since it will be valid for another year!). So I was really stunned. Didn't some of you guys get I-551 stamps in your passport without any problems? I just don't understand why she just wouldn't.
I also wanted to ask her about my case, but she says it's too soon (I filed in February). How did you guys manage to learn about the status of your cases? She wouldn't even look it up.
Finally, I asked her what happens if I move before my case is resolved. She says if you move to another state, depending on the state, your case may be sent to another service center. Is this correct?
As you can see, it was a pretty useless appointment for all that driving.
