It totally took 4 years and 4 months for the process. I was not actively involved in this board for a couple of months).
Thanks to Rajeev Khanna, Ciba and everyone of you.
PP stamping experience:
Although my notice says to go to LA Downtown, as per the advice given in this board, we went to Santa Ana office.
1. Went around 10 a.m, there were more than 75 people ahead of me.
2. After 45 mts went in to collect the ticket in 3rd floor. Only one window was open. Took about 20 mts for the ticket.
3. Went to 5th floor and waited for 5 mts, our nos were called.
4. Gave 2 ADIT photos, approval notice, I-94, Passport. No questions were asked and we were done in 15 mts. The guy did\'nt did\'nt ask for EAD or AP although we took everything.
5. Totally the time spent was nearly 1 hr 45 mts.
6. He said that the actual card arrival will take between 6 to 12 months.
Once again thanks to everybody. If you guys have any questions I\'ll be happy to answer.
