Got there at 6am and there were already about 80 people ahead of us.
At 6:15 they started handing out tickets. At 7:30 we had ours.
Went inside to sit down and at 7:45 our number came up. Handed over copies of the I-765 and I-485 receipt notices (it speeds up things if they do not have to make the copies) and newly filled out I-765s (they want them).
Applied for INFOPASS appointment on completion of 90 days.
Went Federal plaza @12pm for a 1pm appointment, promptly admitted.
Directed to third floor no one on line, given a number and I765 to fill up and asked to go to 9th floor.
When I got off the elevator, and entered the room my number was called ( that fast, fortunately I took an I 765 form all filled up, or else I wouldn't have time to even complete it!!!)
1.30 hours wait for processing and photos/finger print etc.
