We got our passports stamped today at Philadelphia office. We arrived there at about noon, took the number, went out to get photographs done (truck parked in front of the office), had a sandwich nearby, and returned to INS office. We were almost late, as our nuber was called only few minites after we got there (total time 45 min). Lady at the counter (her signature on our passports was with the IIO title after it), took our I94s, aproval notices, freshly made photographs, fingerprints, and stamped our passports. What a dissapointment... After all this wait, and all this pain, all we get is plan text (read ASCII) stamp in the passports??? I was expecting more something, 3D, animated, JAVA enabled, object oriented, multi colored... Oh well. Joking aside, it is good to be done. She also said it will take 9 mo. to a year for the plastic to arrive, but from what we\'ve been seeing on this board it seems that is a major overestimate. We will post when it arrives.
