Friends:
We finally got our passports stamped. Here are the details:
Category: EB3
PD: Feb 22, 1998
Country: India
RD&ND: Aug 1999
FP: March 2000
EAD renewed: Oct 15, 2000
No RFEs
Approval: May 8, 2001
Courtesy Copy rceived: May 12
Passport Stamped: May 18
Went to the INS Office in Philadelphia for stamping. Was there at 7:00 am. Was called to the window at 8:50. Both I and my wife got our passports stamped and were out of there by 9:10. The actual process took barely 5mts. The officer was on the phone the other 15mts.
The only documents we took were the actual approval notice sent to the lawyer, our passports with all the I-94s, and 2 photographs. They didn\'t ask for the EADs or the advance parole documents or anything else. They took our finger print and signatures for the I-89,stamped our passports and that was that.
I must say, after all the waiting, frustration, suspense, worry, expense, etc. the actual stamping itself was an anti-climax.
Anyway, best wishes for everyone still waitng.
