Got approved today ( 9/11 ) from Baltimore. A day never to forget when you got approved.
9:45 appointment, but I was called by 9:15 itself. All went for about 30 to 45 minutes.
Only one thing I was asked not in the checklist is photographs. I did not had it, but the officer said I could get it from outside immediately and hand it over to her. So do take 2 photographs with you in the same way you took for other filings. If you do wear glasses take the photos without
copies asked from the checklist. (remember, this is specific to me only)
EAD, Advance Parole, 3 years tax returns and W2, Employer letter, Employer Tax return and Finance statement. Make copies and keep it ready.
checked everything, all ok. Took my signature, finger print and stamped the passport.
In fact, my RD is Nov 8, 2001. It would have taken at least 2 to 3 months or more to get it approved from the VSC. This workload sharing with the district offices looks quick.
Good luck to everyone who is waiting.
