Waiting for approval notice and to do PP stamping...will post details later.

Good luck to all and God bless everyone.

Merry X\'mas.... it looks like NSC is clearing up the RFE\'er...

Enjoy your freedom!!! The notice will come in about a week or so.

Passport Stamped at Chicago

Finally both myself and wife got our passport stamped on 12/31/01 at Chicago INS office. We were in at 5:45 AM and around 7th in line. Had to wait in the cold (8 deg F / -7 w/wind chill) till 7 AM when the doors were opened. We were issued tokens and waited upstairs for around 45 min. After collecting the EAD\'s / AP (old and current), I94\'s, Photos, approval notices, and getting signatures/ fingerprints, the officer stamped our PP. We were out by 8:50 AM. All the folks there were courteous and helpful.

Tips:
1. Get 2 latest photos exactly as specified in Approval notice.
2. Keep all documents sorted in seperate folders for each applicant.
3. Keep SS card and Drivers Licence, and orig. Marriage cert. if applicable.
4. Get there by 5:45 AM latest. The line gets very long after 6 AM.
5. Keep check book handy, if any fees to be paid. Cash not accepted. (we did not pay any fees for stamping)

Happy new year and good luck to all!!!
