when I entered my zip, infopass came up as santa ana . But after checking with USCIS I was told to go to LA and for appt you need to put LA zip not your home zip ?!?. That worked and got an appt. at LA and got the stamping done. The forum has posts on whether or not to get Adit stamping at Santa Ana. But I think it is better to go to LA until u see a real exp from a person who got stamping at Santa ana, oh and dont forget the LA Zip code instead of your Home Zipcode, just my 2 cents

Thank you Titan01:
My friend discussed with INS Cust rep whose response was:
1. Since the I-485 approval states to visit LA office for stamping, it is better to go there.
2. Change the zipcode to LA zip code to schedule a LA appt. He was originally scheduled to Santa Ana office thru infopass
3. It appears that Santa Ana office does no ADIT processing
He has scheduled an appointment for LA by changing the zipcode.

Other aspect to consider
The other aspect to consider is what kind of time frame does Santa Ana take to deliver the card from the day of stamping. What I grasped from the other posts are San Jose, San Francisco, LA takes 4-6 weeks.
If some body with Santa Ana can post that info. it might be good for others.

i spoke with a friend of mine, He had his interview done at Santa Ana and after approval notices were mailed to him 2 days after his interview he got his stamping done at Santa Ana. and got his plastic cards in 3 weeks. I guess so everything in Santa Ana works .

Stamped @Santa Ana
Got it stamped today @Santa Ana- stamping in itself was easy – no questions- give PP and 2 photos. Was called back after bout 25/30 mins. to collect stamped Passport. Nobody asked EAD or AP.
I just did a job and address change from different center – no questions about any of that.
Finding the place is the problem- #34 is a building not a street Address- you reach the complex it is a maze of about 50 buildings – finding #34 can take a while. There are some directories/maps along walkways- somewhat helpful not much. The building is called the old Federal Building (there is another new Federal Building) and it is on Santa Ana St.
I had a camera phone – you can’t take it inside or even leave it at security. Had to go back to my far away parked car – to put it back.
I had a 7:30 appointment but eventually reached inside 7:50 – came out 8:50.
All in all I am done. Thanks all and best of luck.
