I and my wife rcvd 485 approval today ( 30th sep 2005) . JIT !!! 
The current status for both of us is "On September 30, 2005, after approving your application, we ordered you a new card. Your card will be mailed to you as soon as it is ready".
My question is whether it is compusory to get Passport stamping done (I 551). I think physical cards should come in reasonable time (Possibly before the time i get an Infopass appointment ) based on the above status and i do not have any travel plans for next 3 or 4 months. Also if it is not compusory is it advisable to get PP stamping done.
Thanks in Advance.
