It would be a good idea for him to mention this fact to the CBP officer upon admission

CBP won't touch the status.  I asked about it when we did ours.  It is not within their jurisdiction to change the status of an immigration application.  That is entirely up to USCIS.  CBP pull the records from the repository, verify the records are available, they match and that the immigrant is entering prior to the expiration of the visa in the passport and that's where their job ends.  The information is sent onto USCIS to issue the green card.

Should be any day now, but you can track it using the receipt number from when you paid the IV fee if that helps - it'll tell you when it's been produced, then when it's been mailed and also give you the tracking number.

I see, thanks. My wife hasn't yet received her GC but the CBP officer did write "IR1" in her passport stamp along with her A-number. Fingers crossed that she will get a 10 year GC.
