Hi, there:
It looks that to stamp is not a hard procedure in Phili. May I ask you: where is the office in philadelphia located and do they have a specific day for stamping (like a day only for Stamp and other days other things may include stamping)?
What extra materials do you think they may ask (so one needs to carry them with him when goes there)?
Do you also know their office hours and phone number?
Thank you ahead for your time

Stamping in philadelphia was pretty smooth. You need to carry the stuff mentioned in the approval letter i.e., I94, passport, AP + I carried EAD cards eventhough it is not mentioned in the letter. this was good because the lady asked for the card.
In addition I took with me are: (The officer did not ask for any of these documents, but I carried them just in case the officer wanted to see them)
a letter from the employer
our marriage certificate (because my wife\'s passport still has her maiden name), our birth certificates.
Also, the letter mentioned Room No. 650, but the room to go is actually 100, counter No. 5, take a number and wait for your turn.
good luck

my approval was on 9/17/00
Message changed on 9/19/00 (message said approval date was 9/17 - which is a SUNDAY - go figure)
Courtesy copy received on 9/25/00
BTW regarding I-89, I looked for this form on the INS website and did not find it. It was not even listed on the sign board hanging at the INS office. Actually I did not even know what it was for until I read the previous message.
HUH!
