Just wanted to give folks a quick timeline of events since my hubby came home. Thought this could help someone else:

POE - Atlanta (5/5/12) Happy Cinco de Mayo! - Very easy inspection at immigration, about an hour long wait because it's Atlanta and there were a good number of people waiting before him.

Received SSN (5/14/12) Happy Birthday to my hubby! Best B-day gift ever. Our attorney asked that the SSN Card be assigned at POE, we didn't need to go to the office at all.

USCIS - Texas Office Receives our Immigration Packet (5/17/12) - Receipt date is written on our Welcome Letter, Welcome Letter is produced (again date is on the letter)

Welcome Letter Mailed out (5/18/12) - Date on the envelope, it's a metered stamp

Received Welcome Letter (5/21/12) - We finally have an A-Number. Now we can move forward, hubby can get drivers license, job, etc.. Checked status online with new receipt number and tracking site states Alien Registration Card production has been ordered :)))))

Received Green Card (??/??/??)

*** It's very possible that we got this so quickly after his POE because the distance for our documents and notices to travel is short. POE was in Atlanta, USCIS office is in Texas, we live in Memphis, TN so when you compare the turnaround time please take that into consideration.***

Hope this helps someone.

congrats! But now, I have a question...

we had POE on the same day, 5th of may from El Salvador...

05/21/2012 we received welcome letter...

nothing else, no green card, SSN, anything else other then the welcome letter. Was I supposed to submit something after POE? I asked SSN to be mailed to my home at time of interview...

We didn't submit anything additionally. We were actually surprised that we had received his SSN and welcome letter so soon. If I'm not mistaken after 30 days you can go to SSA and have them look into it. They may just have you to resubmit request and then you get it in the mail within 2 weeks.
