Arrived at SEATAC after an 11-hour flight from Frankfurt. Took some time to get our bags and then onward to Passport Control.
Once we arrived there, we go into line and ended up waiting about 15 minutes. After that, it was our turn. Stepped up, and handed the officer a large package, and passports. He opened the package up and he was looking for the medical records. I told them that Frankfurt does electronic ones. Then he took our photos and handed back the passport saying that they don't STAMP immigrant passports, and he handed back the package. Someone, I am thinking that is wrong about stamping the passport since then there would be no proof of her entering and there would be employment issues until my wife received her Green Card. So, he ended up checking.
Then we got escorted into another location, where they took everything, waited about 10 minutes, and were called up. They verified the address for the green card to be sent. After that, they stamped the passport, saying that this will act as a Temporary Green Card for 1 year and that we should receive the actual Green Card in about 3 weeks. After that, they sent us on our way.
So, a little confusion.
With that, all that I have to say is make sure you get the STAMP on the passport.

Arrived in Seattle Airport (SeaTac) and went to the US Residents/Green Card holders line - "Line 2". This was a massive line as seven flights from Mexico landed in front of us. The wait was approx 1.5 hrs.
On reaching the CBP officer I told him we were arriving on first time Immigrant Visas. He checked a document on his desk and found us, they were expecting us to present presumably based on incoming flight data. He then asked is we had any documents for him, and I handed over the sealed envelopes for all our family. He then spent approx 1 minutes carefully opening each packet and reading each page. Once that completed the officer took a photo and stamped passport next to the Visa and one document from each sealed envelope.
He welcomed us to the USA, said we would get green cards in the mail within a maximum of six months - but expect 6 weeks. He said we were free to travel in and out of the USA with the endorsed temporary I-551 in the passport - "you can go back to London tomorrow then come right back to the Green Card line no problem". He apologised for our wait, asked if we had any other question and we were done.

The whole process was pretty quick, took maybe a couple minutes. Just got some basic questions about what I was bringing in etc. There was some confusion about my visa type; as my visa was CR1, but my entry into the US was after our 2yr anniversary. CBP claimed they could not change this and that I would have to contact USCIS, thus my passport was stamped with CR1. To my surprise, after receiving my green card months later -- it actually had the correct IR1 status.

US Entry experience went smooth, it was through seatac international airport (Seattle), US customs and border protection checked visa and took the sealed packet from embassy, stamped the admitted on passport.
