FYI:

I received my approval notice yesterday and went to the local INS
to see if they need the notice for processing my husband's application
(He came after 4/11 and submitted his application to local INS in
August). To our great surprise, they gave both of us an approval stamp on the
passport with a few simple questions for my husband, and said to him:"
As of today, you become a US permanent resident".

Is it this easy in other places?
