Mention the officer stamping your passport that you wish to get your card at your home address so if needed he/she will make necessary updates.
I recently had stamping done @ Milwaukee INS. There were 50 people waiting in hall and only 2 windows were open when I reached there at 8:30 in morning, thats when they open. Waited 2 hours till my number was called and then took only 5 minutes for stamping. At Milwaukee you have to pull a tocken from machine and then your tocken number is called. For all 485 people, take " For I-89" tocken. My passport was expiring within 4 months so I didn't get GC stamp for one year. Your passport should be valid for at least another 6 months when you go for stamping. IIO stamped my passport only till passport expiring date and then ask me to get a new passport meanwhile and then come again to get a new stamp upto one year as according to them it takes at leats 6 months to get plastic card. Indian Consulate in chicago took 2 weeks to issue new passport and they returned old one. (They have very useful web site) Now I've to make another visit to Milwaukee.
Best of luck to all of you!
