Subject: Is this the approval notice?

When I processed my temporary I-551, INS gave me a white form for inquiries.
It says you should not bother INS soonner than 60 days, or wait for more than 
90 days for your green card. From that, I sensed we should be able to contact 
INS card factory after 2 months and before three months has passed, not six 
months.

For ordinary GC, it takes 6 weeks instead of six months. So maybe we do not
have to wait that long.

I think you don't have to worry about it.  If you are not going to travel
outside of the US within the next six months, the stamp on your passport won't
be necessary.  You will receive your GC in six months.  As for your lad, you
can just send them a copy of your approval notice in the name of your lad as
additional evidence for his/her application.  I went to Philadelphia yesterday
to process mine.  The officer there told me they won't accept any more
information for processing my lad.  She told me "your lad's case is pending in
this center.  Just wait for any further instruction."  As a matter of fact, my
lad filed her application on Aug.12, and she has not received any receipt yet
except one cashier slip of her application fee.
I guess there should be no problem, although I don't know how many are in the
same situation.

Hi, there, my wife is a LAD and I got my approval notice
in the later September from Northern center which asked me to do the  
final processing.
We went to the Denver INS last monday with our friends who have the  
exact same situation with us. Strange enough, a lady there refused to  
stamp my passport and to process anything about my wife's  
application.
She told us (including our friends) what we hold is not a approval  
notice (even though it is absolutely a approval notice) and what we  
need to do is just to make a "special finger print and photo", then  
we should wait another I-797 from the INS center and bring it to her
in order to stamp my passport and get my wife's I-485 processed.
You know she is wrong but you can't argue with her.
Now the problem is I am not sure whether I can get another notice  
from the center or not, especially after I read the urgent notice  
about Northern center from IFCSS.
Any comments are appreciated!
