Stamping Experience @ Arlington, VA

Reached USCIS office at about 7:45 AM. Immediately regretted my complacent approach in reaching that place. There were about 100-150 people in the queue. Fortunately, it moved at decent pace and we were in the building by 8:20AM.

Joined another queue which finally got my token number. One of the tokens had 'Appointment' printed on it and the other did not. I wasn't completely awake to realize what that meant. Soon, to my dismay, I found out that they were processing all appointments before the walk-ins.

My token number(one meant for the appointments) was called but the IIO was not amused at all to find out that I had an appointment token without having ever called for an appointment. He was reluctant to process both the approvals, but eventually agreed.

He took our respective photos, FPs, signatures, I-94s, APs, EADs and then stamped our passports.

We were lucky to be out of there within 2 hours. Unless people are ready spend a good 5-6 hours they should call ahead and make an appointment.

Wish you ALL the very best.
 
I know a friend of mine in similar situation. He had moved to state B and his immigration process continued from State A. In the interview, the officer asked for his DL and when he saw the address from State B, he made a decision not to process his file but to transfer it to State B. Eventually he got his GC but was delayed by atleast 1.5 Years.
Now if you decide to get a DL from State A again, the new DL issue date is enough to raise a question for IIO. Hope this helps.
