Passport Stamping Experience in Arlington VA

Arrived at the local INS office around 7:15AM. They only take 75 people on Saturday. I parked my car on the street, and 2 hours limit, and yes, you still need pay the metre even on Saturday.

Lady at the window was not happy about working at weekends, she got a little attitute which I can understand. Then took my Advanced Parol, I-94, 2 pics, EAD cards, my approval notice. I did my finger print right away (just a simple fingerprint process, not as complicated as I did for I-485).

She said it would take from 6 to 9 months to receive the card.
Got out of the office around 10:00AM.

Hope this will be helpful to whoever goes to Arlington for stamping.
 
Jacky, thanks for the post. It seems like you did good time. 7:15 to 10:00 is not bad.

Why did they say 6-9 'months' to get the card. Is this normal for them to say?
