Amended 140 still pending (was not approved yet! looks like it doesn\'t matter)
Talked to IIO on 8/1/01: very nice officer-she said max of 1 week
Talked to a stupid IIO on 8/3/01 (yes the date of approval around 3:45pm ET - 15 mins before closing) - she said 4 to 5 weeks. But it was approved the same day and approval notice sent on the same day (Fri,Aug 3); i still have not received it yet!
Expect approvals within 14 calendar days of the receipt of RFE response by INS!!
Thanks Rajiv Khanna,myladoor and all the contributors (esp. Phil Spears,GC wanted urgent,and countless others) in this excellent forum.
Expecting to go to Houston INS office for stamping soon.
Will post the stamping experience as soon as its done.
Thanks!
