I went to Newark INS office today for stamping our Passports. After waiting for more than 3 hours we were able to go to a counter. As usual they took all the documents..pringer prints...but finally we were ask to wait another 35 days till they finish nation wide background security check. We will be informed within next 35 days to come to the office to stamp our passport. We received a paper with our name, date, A-number and another EAC number to bring with us when we come to the INS office. It says exactly:
"Effective immediately the INS now requires that all applications go through a background security check before the application receives any type of benefit. This is INS requirement that is nation-wide.
The INS will notify you by mail at a later date when to return to this INS office."
