Quick question: is physical card triggered by PP stamping?....

[patiencePaidoff]

I'd appreciate any guru answer this question:

I'm approved on 8/1 and still waiting for the notice from mail. My question is:

Does INS order the card only after the Passport is stamped, or these are separated events?

Yes it is 'cause they need your finger prints,signature & photos again to go in to the plastic card.

For Children, is photo and FP necessary?

For Children, under age 8, is photo and FP necessary to initiate GC Card?

I believe it is true. My seven-year old was fingerprinted and actually asked to sign the I-89 form during passport stamping. To your earlier question, I believe INS needs the filled in I-89 form to process the cards. As I understand, forwarding of the I-89 form from the local INS office to the service center is triggered by the event of yoor going for passport stamping.

Hope this helps.
