By God's grace we got our passports stamped (wife's also) today
at local INS office in Detroit. Our case were approved online on
Oct 16 and we received courtesy copies of approval notices
on Oct 20. I was waiting for the original copies from the lawyer
until i saw some posts at the immigration forum that one can use
courtesy copy to get his/her passport stamped.
I called my lawyer (he hadn't received anything by then though)
and asked him if i can use courtesy copy for stamping but his
reply was quite discouraging as usual but i decided to try
my luck. What we got to lose.
We arrived at the local office around 7:20am today, got a number
11 & 12, which kept us away from the counter for about 1 hour
and 15 min, then they called our number. We went to the counter,
showed the lady our notices, she asked for passports, EADs, and
APs, put everything in a small plastic bag, put the stamps in our
passports, finger printed and booom!
Finally we became lawful permanent residents of the United
States of America. Took less then 10 minutes for both of us .
Wish you guyz good luck!!!
