Hi, wanted to share my stamping experience.
I drove down to 630 Sansome street at around 5:45am today. that is the ideal time to go as there will be maybe 20-30 people ahead of you, and the line will start moving inside the building in another 30mins.
If you come early you will find ample street parking... i didnt pay a dime for parking as the parking meters start only after 7am. The counters opened around 7am. I was the first to be called in the D40x category (this is for 485 approvals). I was D401. I had a very quick processing with the officer.
the lady officer seemed to be quite senior and lots of people were coming and asking her questions about other cases. she answered with confidence. so when i was done she said wait for 2 months for your card.
in the passport she put the temporary permanent resident stamp with a validity date of 1 year.
i was out by 7:15 and walked over to the car, which was now parked illegally for 15mins, but i took the risk and got no ticket. also when i walked out i saw that the line had become 3X in size. so my advice is come early if you can, you will save time and money.
best regards
