COR granted, DHS's appeal dismissed - now what?

I was granted Cancellation of Removal by an IJ about 18 months ago. The DHS filed an appeal and my case was pending the outcome of the appeal since then.
Now, I received a letter from the BIA, stating that the DHS's appeal was dismissed and relief granted - yeah!
Unfortunately my lawyer is on vacation right now, and I am eager to find out what the next steps are. If there is anyone familiar with this, please let me know whether there will be additional documents coming in the mail, or if I should take this BIA letter and make an InfoPass appointment... or what?
 
Make a appointment for what, a work permit? Just because you have COR, doesn't mean you cannot be arrested again, so you better start obeying the law.

You will probably need to be fingerprinted.

See 8 CFR § 1003.47 Identity, law enforcement, or security investigations or examinations relating to applications for immigration relief, protection, or restriction on removal.

I was never arrested, I went into removal proceedings because 10 years of filing for GC, twice ended up unsuccessful due to technicalities with the employer. If I hadn't been obeying the law, COR would not have been a viable option.
I was referring to an appointment to get the green card issued

Thanks. I already did the fingerprinting and background check immediately after the trial.
I was now able to get a hold of one of the paralegals and she said to set up an InfoPass appointment, take my paperwork from IJ and BIA and they would stamp my passport and order the GC.
