I would imagine that means that your physical card has been printed and would be mailed shortly. In my case it changed from previous message to this message on 12/9 and I received my cards on 12/11. Again this is purely my guess...i think you should get your cards in about 1-2 weeks from now.

KAT02,
Congrats on the welcome letter. You and others gave me lots of knowledge and shared your experience. We need people like you guys. Thank you!
From your previous messages, you used AC140 to get the interview. I'm on this route too by filing I-824. What are you going to do with I-824, which I assume is still pending? Send USCIS a letter or wait for their letter?
Thanks again!

My name and A# are mentioned in the "Applicant" box of the welcome notice. The A # is the same as that on the Immigrant Visa. The name is written in the "Last Name, First Name MI" order. Is this the normal order for welcome notices as well as the PC? I checked the spellings and everything looks fine. I am trying to get as many things clarified and any changes needed identified before getting the card. In the address bix, the name appears in the "First Name MI. Last Name" order.
BTW I got another welcome notice on Thu. 02/12 that was mailed on 02/10 - FYI.
Thanks,
KAT02.

Got the Card!
I got the Plastic Card today! I guess the earlier posting about correcting the information before getting the card becomes moot. However I would like to get confirmation that the name appears in the "Last Name, First Name Middle Initial" format.
Thanks Guys!

Plastic Card for wife
My wife returned on 6 weeks after me after successful CP @ Mumbai. She got 1 welcome notice and physical GC yesterday - took 17 days from date of entry.
This completes the GC process for both of us. Thanks again to everyone on this forum and of course Rajiv Khanna for providing this forum in the first place. CP rules!
I received the new SSN (without any restrictions) in a week after applying for it. Wife's records at USCIS were not accessible online to SSA when we applied - they are available after 10 days from the date of entry. I will wait for a couple of days and then visit SSA again to follow-up on her application.
So future CPers, my advice would be to wait for 2 weeks (or till welcome notice arrives) before heading out to SSA. The person at SSA told me that they check your status (I551 passport stamp does not cut it!) with USCIS computer once - if they can verify it, well and good. SSN card will arrive in 2 weeks. If not, they send the papers to USCIS and issue SSN only after they get the verification. This may take 30-90 days! So, it is worth waiting for 2 weeks or so and save all the trouble. This may not be the case in all the regions of the country but something to be aware of. The welcome notice is one way of confirming that all your information is on the USCIS computer.
Thanks again and good luck to all future CPers!
