Yesterday I went online and found an update on our case saying card production ordered!

That's a relief - we had the interview last week but were not approved right away so I was a bit worried.

I wanted to relay our experience so that other people don't automatically freak out if they don't get immediate approval:

We were not approved right away at the interview. The immigration officer said that although she was convinced of the validity of our relationship, all her cases were being reviewed. So we would have to wait and see if it was approved. She also said we hadn't brought as much evidence of our relationship as some people bring. We brought a photo album, evidence of having not only a civil ceremony but a big party/reception a few months later, a joint bank account statement, his name on the rental lease, and his name on the electricity bill. I asked what other kinds of evidence people bring, and she said she couldn't tell me specifically...not very helpful!

Anyway, it sounds like they want a lot of volume, bring as much documentation as you can.

Good luck to you all!
