I don't see website you mentioned 

Probably because I absentmindedly forgot to include it.

I spoke with a Border Protection (CBP) officer at the Salt Lake City deferred inspection site today. The officer informed me that all processes are now electronic, so a passport stamp is not required. They confirmed that if I had my passport, which includes the visa, with me when I entered the U.S. and can provide evidence of my entry—which I did in December—that is sufficient proof of my entry and status. The officer further explained that the significant delays in green card delivery are due to ongoing immigration challenges in the U.S.

The couldn't stamp your passport today per your request?

 

AFAIK everybody still gets their visa stamped based on VJ forums.

 

Good luck and keep us posted

hmm.  Kind of goes against what is actually printed on the visa “Upon endorsement …”.  Was the CBP officer able to see if the system shows you as an LPR now?

I simply do not believe this.  They MUST stamp an immigrant visa.  Otherwise the visa holder has no evidence of legal status.  It is true that I-94s are electronic, but LPRs do not have I-94s.  CBP has stopped stamping visitor passports, but that does not include immigrant visas.  I have found nothing that states CBP has stopped endorsing them.

Please let us know if your green card arrives.
