Dear netters,
     INS at Arlington (VA) is processing the LADs applications.  By
the end of May this year, one of my frinds received a letter from
INS which asked for the employment letter for LAD.  Today, another
friend received a letter fron INS.  The content is as following:

Applicant's name:
The processing of the application for adjustment of status to
that of permanent resident filed by the above named individual
has been completed.  A request has been forwarded for the
allocation a visa number.

                         Sincerely,

                         (signature)

                         District Director

     At the bottom of the letter, there was a red stamp showing
"approved" with another person's signature.
     We have a comfusion on this letter: does the "approved" stamp
mean that a visa number has already been issued to the applicant
after the forwarding of the request for visa number ?
     We greatly appriciate any answer.  Thanks in advance.

     H.  Wang
