Got up at 4:00 AM

Arrive in INS Chicago 6:00 AM, parking nearby for $18

We were No. 4 and 5 in the line before the door opened

Door opened at 7:00 sharp

Security clearance

To the second floor around 7:20

Show my letter and receive a ticket - Me "202" and wife "203" and took a seat. An Indian couple were a few numbers after us, and it turned out they also have AUG 2001 RD.

We were called in separately around 7:30

Show letter of approval, passport, driver's licence, I94, AP, 2 photos, and EAD (I gave all my three EADs, and she just threw into a drawer without looking).

Then FP, and Stamped at 7:40

The design of the stamp looks a little junky, but I have waited for 972 days since RD. I should not complain.

Thanks all on the board. Your time will come!

this is what some people they were called for stamping or it is also called interview and stamping? any comments please.
 
Did they ask to see your driver's

license or did you just volunteer to give/show it. Also, the same question about EADs. In addition, was there a long line by the time you were done? I was wondering if I went later in the day, would I still be able to get in and have passport stamped.

Thanks in advance for your answers.
 
Thanks for the reply. One more question

Did you go with your courtesy copy of the approval notice or the original that was sent to the attorney. Thanks for all your help.
