Stamping at chicago

Just had my passport statmped in chicago. Go to Room 100 on the ground floor, difficult to find, ask somebody. If you go to room # specified on the approval form, you are wasting your time. Entire process takes only 5 minutes. There was no rush, when I went, looks like all days are good. Take all your EADs and Advanced Paroles, 2 immigration style photos and everything mentioned on the approval. Persons doing the stamping don\'t ask any questions, they just take all the documents etc. and stamp the passport. Very straight forward process, you will be out of INS in 15 minutes. Enjoy the freedom
