I am in a similar situation. I read a post that states that you will get a visa valid for 6 months or one year and you can use that to travel in / out of USA. It is important that one enters USA before visa expires. Once you get your passport in hand from embassy, after IV, then you can apply for GC using your alien number. I believe it takes about a month to arrive, at least if its within USA.

Has anyone heard about this or has more insight?

If you have a valid I551 stamp (immigrant visa stamp) on your passport you are good to re-enter as this serves as your temporary green card.
