July 19, 20206 yr I did it last year and I had to go back the next day (and I always go in first thing in the morning). I don't recall the exact details but I know I didn't sit around Immigration waiting for any length of time. I do recall it didn't cost anything and when I went back to get my passport I was in and out in a couple minutes. Have to do it again this year when I renew my passport (long story) but I'm not anticipating anything different.
July 19, 20206 yr Be sure that you are registered at your current address (tm-30) or they won't do it
July 19, 20206 yr If my memory serves me right, I went at about 9.30am and was told to return at 3pm that afternoon to collect passports.

Wednesdays -Thursdays are the best. Very few people, especially at the desk where you transfer the stamps. Did you get the letter from your embassy/consulate for immigration?
