We made it home last night!!!
Minneapolis POE was super easy. The first CBP was a bit grumpy and when my husband showed the flimsy white 'do not open' package (it traveled through 4 countries with no tears!) the agent said 'oh yay, another one'. He said my husband needs to go to the Passport Control room and wait for an officer there. I asked if I could go back with him and he said 'yea if you want, just warning you, you're going to be there for a while'. I made a joke that I'll just go home and get the car then. Went down like a led balloon!
We go to the room where I made another crack that we were sent to the principal's office. The second CBP heard me and said 'this is NOT the principal's office, this is the GOOD room!' He asked one question, when did we file. We said Sept 2013 and he said 'that's it?!' I gave him a Madea look and he said 'some people wait years for this!' I told him I was fully aware. Since I kept chiming in throughout the conversation, the CBP dude asked if my photo should be on the green card (while laughing). He said he tries to have a sense of humor and I told him it was appreciated as we've read horror stories. Naturally, he said don't believe everything we read.
Visa stamped, signed, and my husband finger printed. We asked about the social security card and he said they have no control over that, since it was completed on the DS-260 which is a DoS document (makes sense).

Open passport and look at REGISTRATION NUMBER.
The GC number's format is: A123456789 (A+9 digits) ... if your registration number is 8 digits (7,6,5....) long you have to put 0 (zero or more zeros) after A and before the number to have A+9 digits number. (Don't worry, it will not allow you to go to next step without the correct number)
All the tips appear on the right side of the website while filling the immigrant fee form.

I completely agree! I'd say go in business casual or "Sunday best" attire.
