Stamping @ San Jose INS w/ Los Angeles Approval Notice

Hi,

I keep reading that INS does not enforce which office
we can get our passport stamped. Does anybody have
experience going to San Jose INS office with an approval
notice indicating another INS office to be stamped?
Thank you.

Our pp stamping experience at SFO

After a lucky morning, we got our passports stamped at SF INS office. Went in at around 9:40AM, went out at around noon. To my surprise, the I-551 stamp is a very simple stamp, with text indicating "PROCESSED FOR I-551, TEMPORARY EVIDENCE OF LAWFUL ADMISSION FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE VALID UNTIL MM/DD/YYYY. EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZED." and some hand-written info. Is this "simple stamp" what everyone else has? I almost doubt if I can use this simple stamp to enter the US.
