Thanks friend! I'm scared

Don't get scared. Newark is a real good place to interview at and they are prompt and courteous. You will be just fine. Just make sure you have all your documents in place and there is nothing to worry about.

As I said, Newark is a cool place to be interviewed. Good luck and keep us posted. If you need any more info about the Newark office, just ask me and I will try to answer as best as I can. :thumbs:

There have been a lot of posting on this subject and it seems some do get the stamp and some do not. Apparently, leaving the interview without a stamp is becoming the norm; so that shouldn't be a worry.

I did not get a stamp either, apparently most people do not. Your GC itself should be coming in about a week or so, so the stamp is not necessary.

I have a question regarding our Interview next month. I served in the army in my home country. Should I provide some documents regarding this service in the Interview? Would they even bother to ask for any ?
