INS will definitely re-stamp before you travel. Make sure to carry I-485 approval notice or immigrant visa copy (if you did CP).
You can stand in appointment line only if you have an appointment. (isn't that the case everywhere?)

Hey nkm

thanks for the quick reply. I was hoping to sneak into the appts line to cut the wait time :-).
