I had a 11 AM appointment (ND-4/6/2004 at VSC) via infopass but showed up at 10 AM just in case.
1. The guard at the building entrance asked me to enter at the beginning of the Q since I had an infopass appointment.
2. In room 310, I stood in the line just like everyone else. Got a ticket at 10:30 and headed to room 900 on the 9th floor.
3. My number was called at 11 AM and I handed my infopass appointment sheet and filled out 765 form. The person at the counter asked me to wait for the number to be called again.
Today the 9th of August 2004 i went to the local immigration office of New york in order to receive the EAD card as they told me over the phone when i call earlier the day that made my application 90 . I filled a form i-539 for the v-status and a form 765 for the EAD on april 29 2004, they gave me the notice with the date 7th of may 2004 . When i arrive at the local office with my infopass apointement thing went very easy . You go to the room 310 for a number , filled out the application then went to the 9 floor on room 900 .
It tooks around 827 days.

I contacted the USCIS regularly from Jan ‘ 04 (I applied in Aug) and was told my security check is pending. I contacted the FBI directly who told me that they received no request for a name check from the FBI. I did this on 2 separate occasions. I had no idea if my name check was submitted or not.
Here is my recent H1B stamping experience (early August, 2003) in U.S. consulate in Calgary, AB.

Based on many posts by users of these boards, I’ve decided to write-up a fairly comprehensive posting regarding ability to pay issues and how to overcome RFE’s, Denials and appeals.
Background:
Law governing ability to pay – 8 CFR 204.5(g)(2)
It was Wonderful Experience with The Law Firm. Extraordinary Work done by the firm especially Rajiv,Leila,Vijay and Diana Lombardo.I really would like to Thank you all for all support you gave me during my GreenCard Process. I will Highly recommend to go with this Firm for any kind of BCIS Processing.
I recommend Law offices of Rajiv S Khanna for H1B/H4 visa related tasks. Staff is thoroughly professional and patient. The aptly respond to any trivia. My case was filed as premium processing and was through in a week. Special thanks goes to Charu and Rena.
Finally,finally,finally............
I got the GC, ending the long wait...Even though the journey was long ,the Friendly office of Rajiv S.Khanna(sorry to tweak the name) helped it to be smooth by taking care of all the minute details. I felt like a strong manager for having delegated an important work in my life, to a highly professional bunch and just went on with my life without worrying about anything. I was fortunate to meet many in the group in person.They were even more friendly and helpful whenever I went to their office.
As we all know one of the important topic in Desi gathering is GC and I was always proud of saying that
I am being taken care by Rajiv Khanna and here afterwards I will proudly say that I was taken care off by the "Friendly office of Rajiv S.Khanna"
Above all let me ask Leila something. "Leila, your friendly attitude and that wonderful gracious smile all the time...is that Gods special gift for you"
Me & my wife got GC approved on Aug'4th 2004. I got the RFE for my I-140 and Mr.Khanna team handled the case in a very caring manner,they did very good documentation and it got approved with in 30 days of sending the RFE. I really appreciate Mr.Khanna and his team for helping me out in getting my GC. Thanks again for each and every one who handled my case in Mr.Kahanna's team.
I got my L1A extension approved during April 2004 through Rajiv & Savita. I traveled out of country and reentered in June 2004 using my old visa. But encountered problems on my new I-94 dates and was very panicked. So the 1st email and phone call was to Savita and it was followed up by her, Charu & Rajiv personally. I can't believe that I applied for my visa revalidation by post on 8th July and got the stamping on 2nd August. Less than 3 weeks and it's a miracle. I take this opportunity to thank Rajiv, Savita & Charu for their kind advice and guidance. Great Work and I am obliged.
Thanks to everyone and especially Charu and Ursula for their work on my H1-B. I really appreciated the fact that I could ask questions and get answers all the way throughout the process and I would really recommend your services to anyone!!
I would highly recommend the services of Rajiv Khanna for any immigration issues. They were successfully able to process my green card even though I had stopped working for the sponsoring company for about a year.
