Boston stamping experience
Reached JFK fedral building at 6:55 am, there were about 25-30 people ahead of me. 7.00 am the gates opened and I was inside the building about 7:25 am. After the security check went to the Immigrationsforms counter on the left hand side and got the form I-89 aftersignature and finger printing stood in the next line for the token.After almost 30 minutes of wait I got a token but of the 14 counters there was only 1 or 2 counters working, Had to wait for 1 hour 15 minutes before my turn came up. I was asked for theapproval notice the I-89 form, EAD and AP. That is it no more questions asked. THe passport was stamped and handed back
with the statement that I can travel anywhere and can continue employment and was told that I should receive the card in about
3 weeks.
Note: Even though my receipt date according to the 485 notice was aug21 2001 the receipt notice on the approval notice was
oct, 15 which is my notice date so I have a feeling that they process 485 according to notice date and not receipt date.
RD 08-21-01 ( according to 485 receipt)
RD 10-15-01 ( according to approval notice)
ND 10-15-01
AD 10-09-02
All the best !!
