New FAQ entry on what to do after I-485 approval.

Thanks, man! Hopefully, that will be helpful to me some day. As for possible mistakes, I will be able to single those out only after I go through the process myself.
 
One possibly inconsistency is kind of noticeable, though. If my AP is invalidated at the time of approval, how come I can use it for reentry into the US if my approval comes while I am overseas?

Ya -- I'll add a comment to the FAQ post that if you are outside the US at the time of the approval there should *definitely* be no problem getting back in if you had valid AP / H / L before you left. The problem is if you leave the US *after* being approved -- some people are adamant that leaving without the stamp in that situation is a huge mistake. Others (including murthy) have said there shouldn't be any major problems...

I've also pointed out in the past that many people must leave the US without knowing they've been approved (e.g. because they aren't checking their online status every 5 minutes like I was). So there must be some allowance for people who are in this situation.
