After a very long wait my case has been approved. ( after 30 months!! )
Received the approval notice on Friday ( 05/24/02).
ND - 12/99
RD - 12/99
Did 2 FP\'s, changed employer according to AC21 and received a RFE for Employment.
My wife case is still waiting for approval.
Thanks for everyone in this discussion for their help.
You have been a source of inspiration and tremendous support to me.
I need some information regarding the stamping.
1. There is no particular date given on the approval notice on which I need to go for stamping. So I assume , I can go any day. Is that right??
2. Regarding this new security clearance procedure, does anybody have any experience in Dallas when went for stamping??
Thanks for all the help.
 
Congrats, it is really a long journey. Please post details here and in Tracker.

Please let us know the Approval Date (notice sent out date). Is the AVM updated?

For you questions:
1. There is no particular date given on the approval notice on which I need to go for stamping. So I assume , I can go any day. Is that right??

Yes. You can go to local INS today or tomorrow.

2. Regarding this new security clearance procedure, does anybody have any experience in Dallas when went for stamping??

I do not think that is relevant to PP stamping.

The designation was "Programmer Analyst" and is same with the old employer.
I read some issues regarding the security cleanance for PP stamping.
so if some one had recently went for stamping please post details.
Thanks for the replies. Let me know if any other information is needed.

Venkat details Please

Please give me details about what all paper work your friends took with him.
Did he carry the original Approval notice or the courtesy copy of the Approval notice??
Please post details , It will be a great help for me.
Thanks.
 
sbalaji, the details are:

1. Courtesy copy of the Approval notice
2. Passport
3. I-94 ( to know about Port of Entry)
4. 2-photographs
 
do you have to get the PP stamped?

Just a quick question. Do you need to get the passport stamped? Can you just wait a few more weeks for your plastic card to arrive or do they send the plastic after you get your passport stamped?
 
Passport stamping @ Dallas on 5/23

Balaji,

Congratulations on the 485 approval. I know you have
been waiting for a long time. I have been too until
2 weeks ago.

We (wife & myself) got my passport stamped on May-23 at the
Dallas INS office. Reached the INS office @ 5:30 AM.
There were about 100 ppl ahead of us. The office opened around
6:30 AM or so. We were allowed into the bldg. around 7:00.
We were done by 7:30 AM.

Documents we took:
1. Original 485 approval notices
2. Passports
3. I-94
4. All (note ALL) EAD/AP
5. Two ADIT photographs

No hassles with security check stuff or whatever. Also our
approval notices mentioned that we cannot go on Wednesdays.

Good Luck
Suds
 
No, only after your PP is stamped, your name is entered into database and plastic cards are ordered
