no stamp after green card interview

[Canadia_NYC 0]

This thread is a year old. A lot of people don't get the stamp at their interview, even if they are approved. It means nothing.

It seems the OP had a restraining order put out against him by his wife, which makes his case much more complicated and probably unlike any one else's here. Again, the OP posted this a year ago - no sense in digging up old threads, especially when the circumstances are totally different.

Sorry, as you can see i'm a newb. I should have started a new thread. You think that there is no issue then about a stamp? I'm just bothered because other people that were interviewed in the same office as me yesterday received stamps. She literally wrote in my passport, but said GC would come in the mail, so I should just relax and shut up probably! However, on this site, everyone makes such a big freaking deal about the stamp. She took my i-94, but I kept my EAD, she didn't even look at it.

Do you think she just didn't feel like getting the stamp or something?

Harpa - you answered one of my other questions and always seem to know what's up so I'd love your opinion.

Thanks!

Gah, I didn't want to post anymore in this thread!

I don't know the particulars of your case, and you don't know the particulars of the cases that got stamps. Maybe they were ROC interviews, maybe they were people who had impending travel. I can tell you that last year most offices had policies to NOT give out stamps. I think there was a policy to avoid giving stamps if at all possible to cut down on forgery nation-wide. This year, I have started seeing some people who have gotten stamps, but it's still NOT the norm from what I can tell (a few years ago it was the norm). We did not get a stamp, for instance.

Is there a reason that you are worried? Did the interview go badly? Do you have anything unusual about your case that would cause them to delay? And most importantly, what did she write in your passport?

I know, but still, it's meaningless to compare stories from a year ago with exceptional circumstances (a restraining order). I wanted to make sure people realized the OP is a year old, because I doubt the OP is around to respond. If you want to discuss it more, have at it

Even I had not realized this was an older thread, I also had answered the thread since it was on top of the list…..

I only realized there was mix-up and that’s when I pointed out at what post the thread got hijacked.

Sorry - I am new at Visa Journey and didn't realize I should have started a new thread. Sorry to make you post in this outdated thread. The interview went well, she said that we were approved, nothing unusual about my case. She wrote i-485/i-130 pending, her name and IO #, my A#. i don't have my passport in front of me, but that is the gist of what she wrote.

i should be fine right?

Yes, if she said you were approved, then you should relax. Your interview was yesterday! I bet you get an email about card production in a day or two. Sometimes IOs are newer and have to get their files approved by a supervisor first. Congrats on approval!
