Stamping experience in San Diego

My family and I have our passport stamped in San Diego office last week. I have been trying to tell people who is going to there late. But I failed to post my message until I finally found a bulk email (not regular email!) from the Forums team today.

Based on our I-485 approval notices, we arrived San Diego Downtown Office at about 6:20am. But then we were told the office has moved to Chula Vista. Without exact address, we finally found Chula Vista office at 7:20am. We saw about 200 persons in a longer line and 10~20 persons in a short line. Asked an officer there, the short line was for I-485 stamping. Passed through the security gate, we went to B line (a short line again) and got a ticket for whole family. At about 10:30am, our number got call and we have our stamps on our passport in 5 minutes. We noticed the time for stampling is quite different. One family (4 persons) just with 2 number before us took more than 40 minutes to get work done. It is case and officer dependent. The officer stamped for us is a very efficient guy.

Document needed:
1. original approval notice
2. copy of ID (e.g. driver license or passport) -- not mentioned in the notice.
3. I-94, passport
4. two photos (ADIT as said by the notice but we used pp photos)

The address:
Chula Vista Customer Service Center
1261 Third Avenue, Suite A
Chula Vista, CA 91911

I want thank all the people in the forum to which I stayed with for more than two years and got a lot of information that really encouraged and helped me during my difficult and painful time. Good Luck for everyone in the forum!

Congratulations ....

Congratulations...

Did you take appointment ? or it is just a walk-in for stamping ? Walk-ins are allowed any working day or any one or two days of the week only ? Please let me know which day of the week did you go for stamping ?

Thanks,

Thanks.

We didn't make an apointment and got pp stamped by just walk-in this Monday. I think walk-in is allowed any working day, according to our approval notices (WED is not a working day).
