Hi Guys,
I recieved my courtesy approval copy yesterday ( actually my friend who lives in Hartford recieved it, because I moved to Albany ) so thought of going to Hartford and get the stamping done, went to friends place yesterday and stayed there, in the morning at around 7:50 we went to Hartford office, the line was not too long, at exactly 8:00 AM they started taking us in. We went to the 4th floor as mentioned in the approval notice. The security guard at the 4th floor told us that they are not doing the stamping today, they will take the documents and will call us. I thought instead of coming back to Hartford again from Albany for the stamping , I can try for the stamping in ALbany so I left the Hartford at 8:30 , reached the Albany at 12:00 went directly to the INS office ( just 2 miles away from my home ). The office was empty, the security guard gave us a token number , in 5 min a lady called up our number, we went to the window told her that we have come for the stamping , she asked for the Approval notice , EAD card, AP if we have, I-94, passport. We gave all to her , she took our siganture and finger print and stamped our passport. I also told her about my new address. She noted that down and told us that card will arrive in 6 months time. The stamp is valid for one year. The whole process took 10 minutes. So guys if Albany is not too far for you , you can go there for stamping , atleast they are doing it on the spot, no security check.
