San Jose stamping experience

Reached INS monetery road at 6:35 am...we have to stand in the appointment/special registeration/interview line which is by the side of the building..not the one in the front. Your approval notice is your appointment letter.
This line is less than 20 people at any time. There was one couple infront of us. You need to carry your passport/ all AP/ all EAD / approval notices/ 2photos with A# pencilled behind them.
You will let in after strict security..wear shoes that can be taken off...belt off..etc.
The office pointed us to the window where we got the counter numbers.
At that time they take forefinger print and 2 signatures.. stamp the passport with the 'red' stamp and tell you that it will be 6-8months for the green card. They prefer the courtesey copy to the actual apporval notice since they use the same address to mail the green card..if you dont plan on staying at your current address for that long..chose a different address.
we were out by 7:45.

Hope this helps, and again, no need to stand in the normal line. Good luck.
