Subject: Is this the approval notice?

Hi, there, my wife is a LAD and I got my approval notice
in the later September from Northern center which asked me to do the  
final processing.
We went to the Denver INS last monday with our friends who have the  
exact same situation with us. Strange enough, a lady there refused to  
stamp my passport and to process anything about my wife's  
application.
She told us (including our friends) what we hold is not a approval  
notice (even though it is absolutely a approval notice) and what we  
need to do is just to make a "special finger print and photo", then  
we should wait another I-797 from the INS center and bring it to her
in order to stamp my passport and get my wife's I-485 processed.
You know she is wrong but you can't argue with her.
Now the problem is I am not sure whether I can get another notice  
from the center or not, especially after I read the urgent notice  
about Northern center from IFCSS.
Any comments are appreciated!
