Does any one got it stamped at Philadelphia INS??. Please post your experience. I have couple of questions:

1. Do I need to take apointmnt prior?
2. What is Infopass.. Is it only for Los Angeles Center?
3. What are the documents we have to take?

Thanks.
 
Congratulations!!!
Well typically the documents are 2 ADIT pictures, all your I-94 documents, EADs, APs etc for all the applicants who are going for stamping.

The approval notice should have the details. (I am not sure if the notice is not clear about the documents - normally it is).

As regards to appointment, I am not sure, you could check USCIS.gov and find out while waiting for some folks with phildelphia experience to post.

Good Luck
 
Thanks Golumolu.

Infact i was searching forum to find out more details about this. And also i looked at the USCIS.GOV site for further info. But i don't see any where about appoitment. We wanted to tomorrow for Stamping. Just wanted to make sure that i'm going in right way.

Thanks.
 
call the 800 National Customer Service number and findout the number for your local office and check with them.
 
jalach,

Thanks guys for your input. Here is my experience. I hope this certainly help others who wants their stamping at Philly.

Infact i have done my stamping today. we (Me and Spouse) have taken appointments thru INFOPASS for 9:30 am individually yesterday thru online at http://infopass.uscis.gov/. Printed our appointment copies from internet.

Some one from INS called me in the morning to my home and verified about the appointmnt and asked what reason did i take the appointment. I explained about the GC stamping. She said fine and see you there.

So We started from home around 8:20am and we reached the parking lot near broad street and Collowhill street around 8:55am. We walked down to 1600 Callowhill street and entered in to the INS Building thru the security.

At Security they asked for valid ID cards. So we showed them our Driving Licence IDs. They asked if we carry any mobile phones. They took our mobile phone because Mobile got inbuilt Camera, and asked us to collect while leaving.

After we went to the counter to collect the token(ticket). There i showed them that we have taken appointments for 9:30am. The Lady at the counter looks like never seen those appointmnets printouts. She asked me why i did take appointmnet. I said, it is there in USCIS website to take appointmnet before attending.

So, she went inside and showed to them about the appointments. Looks like even they have not seen before. They discussed about this for few minutes and checked thru their website and called me immediately to the counter and asked our EAD cards, AP's, Passports and Photos. They got our Righthand index finger impression and signature and stamped in the passport with I-551.
and cancled(Cancle stamp) all the valid VISA stampings and gave our passports back. She said we may get our GC cards in a year.

All these procedure done by 9:30am. We back home by 10:00am.

Wish you all Good Luck.
Regards,
 
Congrats!!! Enjoy your freedom with big party for the two of you.
