All,
I got approval notice on wednesday and stamped my passport yesterday in santa ana although my approval said go to LA.
The experience is same as Anburan. It took only 20 minutes for the whole process. No questions asked.
I am posting Anburan experience here for information.
Good Luck everyone.

Stamping Experience Of Anburan:
Today I went for my stamping experience @ Santa Ana. I took with me
1. 2 Photos
2. I-94
3. All my expired and current one
4. APs (even though it was not mentioned)
5. EADS ( \'\')
6. Courtesy Copy.
I did not go there early. I reached INS office at 9:30 AM. Parking is across
the building and it is free.
In front of the building there are three lines. One for INS, one for IRS and
one for Social Security. Pl check with the guard which lines goes where.
As usual Security Check and went to the third floor. No one in the floor,
except a guard and counter staff. Got my token and went to 5th floor.
there were about 200 people waiting, but the display was showing one number
before me is being serviced. Within a minute, I was called and wentto the
counter. Gave her my passport, courtesy copy and Photos. She asked me my AP
and EADs. Since I want to retain it (if US changes the law and if I become
President, I want to donate the EAD and AP to the libarary.. heheheh), I
told here that I did not bring it here. She said if cannot attach the AP,
there might be queries before the issue of the card. Hence I told her "you
can give me the stamp and I will go and check my files in the car and if I
have it, I will bring it". She said ok, and stamped and FPed me and gave me
a slip so that I can come back.
Since I had all my stuff in my coat, I just went out of the floor and took
one AP (retained other AP and EAD card) and gave it back to her. She
attached my AP to my courtesy copy and said thats all.
The whole process took me from parking to exiting 12 minutes.
I do not know whether anyone gave back the EAD and both the AP notices...
Hope to get the card..
