Dravisha Bhaji,
We reached INS Cincinnati at 12:30 PM on thursday, thought I would be thro' within an hour; Went on thursday, there were many people waiting, got the token, token # was 131 and 100 was in process; waited && waited 3:30 PM still token # 115 was in process; were scared if we need to come next day; At last immi officer announced any person for only Passport Stamping, (there were some folks waiting for interview also); The security guard took our passports, courtesy letter, and all EADs, Advance Paroles, I was taking current EAD from my file, he peeped in our bag & said"Hay u need to give older EAD's also; then I was taking out my Social Security, he told no need)
After 15 minutes officer called us in; He had alreasy stamped our passports, took FP of our index finger, and told us that u can travel && do everything with the passport stamped. U r all set to go. He was very nice, all process took less then 5 minutes, we had two kids (we thought we need not take our kids in), he told u can take kids.....Thats it !!!
ONE MORE THING.... my younger one dropped his milk bottle in the office, the immi officer came running after us, we were panicked, he told hey u left ur milk bottle...They r very nice & co-operative
ONE HINT: I say two desis coming at 3:30 and as soon as they came, their passports were taken for stamping and they were called after us, I was a bit pissed, so NUTSHELL BHAJI, if u reach INS at 3:30 or so, u'll be free within 15 minutes, though I had to wait for full 3 hours!!!!
ALL THE BEST
