Hi - my friend asked me to post this. she got a letter in the mail a month ago which sort of looks weird to me but basically says
"DEAR APPLICANT(S)
Please be advised that you have been granted permanent resident status as of he above date. This letter should not be regarded as proof of that status.
You are being processed for an alien registration card which should be mailed
to you at the above address. If you need a stamp in your passport"
the Class is IR6 and the date says 8/27/2006.

she still has not received her card. and we're wondering if she has to go to the immigration office for a stamp to trigger it or if it just will take some time. this is in california. I thought that after approval letter it should not take long to get the card. does anyone else know how long it takes these days ?

After approval it takes 4-7 weeks for the card
 
the approval letter i got says 9 to 12 months to get the card. passport stamping is a temp evidence of your PR status. it shouldn't relate to how fast your card is being processed
