When did you requested for rescheduling your interview? Did you do it right away when you got notice? I just called uscis and they said it is fine, they took my request and were super nice. I called on a same day I got that notice. Hopefully I will get it. I planned trip to Poland long time ago. I am going for my friend's wedding. I already bought plane ticket. People at uscis were very nice over the phone...
...Personally, in my opinion, I'd post a new thread asking who was given a stamp at YOUR local office. Hopefully there are people here on VJ that can respond specifically to YOUR office. IF they're not giving it at your office, and again, the stamps are now only given at few offices, and are far and few between, you might want to rethink your travel plans. Or, you might want to make an INFOPASS appointment and ask them about this. Maybe they don't have to take your AP papers from you at the interview. That would be a good thing to know so that you can use them to cross the border. Maybe you can find out at an INFOPASS appointment if they DO give out stamps at that specific office.
I would leave little to chance. Find out asap so that your travel plans aren't disrupted. Please let us know what you find out if you decide to go for an INFOPASS appointment. It would be good information for others.
Best of luck!
In reference to the above suggestion from Carlawarla, see below.
Our interviewer was Officer R. P*wley in the San Francisco office (I'll leave it up to you to figure it out). He did give me a stamp in my passport that was valid for three months of crossing the USA border (only three months as the two-year GC should be received way before the three months is up).
If you plan to travel within the next three months of your AOS interview, I highly urge you to let your interviewer know so s/he can stamp your passport for reentry permit.
Some fyi for the San Francisco office to keep your interview simple and sweet:
There are washrooms in the waiting area. Don't touch the American flag in the waiting area. Don't blab about nothing. Less is more. Dress presentably. Don't wear lowriding jeans and a midriff-baring top even if you got the body. Have all IDs and appointment letter ready in your pocket upon entry to the building. Yes and no to direct questions will suffice. Best to keep all your paperwork, keys, wallet in a clear folder so security and interviewer can see. Lastly, photocopy everything, even those bank/deed/car/utilities statements because they will take the original if you don't have copies.
I don't know why people get nervous about these interviews. There is no need to be. And don't try to make chit chat with the interviewer. We didn't say one word on our walk to the interview room. Afterward just say thank you, shake hands, and leave. One thing I disliked about interviewing is the interviewee making nervous chit chat and trying too hard to impress. No need to impress here - they know everything about you anyway!

Hey you guys...
When did you requested for rescheduling your interview? Did you do it right away when you got notice? I just called uscis and they said it is fine, they took my request and were super nice. I called on a same day I got that notice. Hopefully I will get it. I planned trip to Poland long time ago. I am going for my friend's wedding. I already bought plane ticket.
