Actually it is the other way round: passport or I-94 stamping takes place first, and then your green card usually arrives in the mail 2 to 3 months after that.
I\'ve been told that INS has no problem stamping I-485 approval notice in expired asylee passports, they know most asylees are not able to renew/update their national passports. In lieu of the national passport they will also stamp in asylee\'s I-94. But I don\'t know the details of each and every individual case, so if in doubt please consult your case with the NSC helpline or with a licensed immigration lawyer.
One more thing, I don\'t mean to put your hopes down but average processing time for asylee green cards these days is 5 to 6 years. And the Congress has not approved this year\'s asylee adjustment quota yet, so the people who filed their I-485s in early 1998 are anxiously waiting for the INS to announce the next cut-off-date.
