Small correction for future readers. There's no I-155 stamp as of 2023. There's a I-151 stamp which is valid for a year. Can do pretty much everything with it, including obtaining SS card, driver's license

 It's actually an I-551 stamp but yes, valid for 1 year.

 

When I renewed mine while waiting for GC, they stamped it on an I-94 card and mailed it to me.

So I went to my SS office and they confirmed it had been processed and gave me my SSN there and then. Tried to open a bank but they needed my actual green card number (bank was USAA). So just waiting for it now. Heading back to the Middle East for a few weeks for work so hope it arrives :)
