Hi all,
Thanks to all the immigrationportal.com users who posted valuable information over the years. Details of my approval (after several long years of the Labor/140/485 process) are given below:
WAC 03-003-xxxxx
I485 ND/RD Oct 2002
First FP: Dec 2002
Second FP: August 14, 2004 (did not go for advance fingerprinting)
I485 Approved: Sep 1, 2004
Approval letter received in the mail: Sep 3, 2004
Passport stamping: Sep 10, 2004
Passport stamping was straightforward. Took infopass appt at SF, whole thing got done in 30 minutes. I took passport, 2 pp photos, appt. letter, original I485 approval notice, old EAD/AP. Write name and A# on back of the photos. They retain the I-94, photos, I485 approval and old EAD/AP and take your index fingerprint. You can take a cell phone in but not one that can take pictures. The stamp on the passport is valid for one year from that day.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Peace,
