Does "welcome notice sent" email sent mean they are truly done?

We went to the AOS interview yesterday and were approved.

This morning we received the "Welcome Notice Sent" email about our case.

My question is this, does that mean they are done and 100% they are sending us the green card? Or could we still be held up by a FBI name check or something else?

Sorry for the question, little confused at this point. My wife really wants to travel back home for Xmas and I want to look for plane tickets, trying to make sure we are really done.

Thanks

Brad

Congrats.

I hope you don't get what happened to me. CIS Reopened my case but won't tell me why until 30 days after I got the email. All this despite having the Green Card in hand.

They're messed up.
