Finally, I received a plastic card after exactly one year from the date of passport stamp. I went to an INS local office in Westminster, CA on January 22, 2001 to stamp my passport, and I received the card from CSC (postmarked in KY) on January 22, 2002. Finally, it is over! Ciba, please update your database accordingly. Good luck to every one.
