I did not get a case update via text or email yet, or on the website, even though she said I would receive my green card as soon as in 10 days.

What i can tell you, the officer that interview me said the same , YOUR CARD WILL BE IN THE MAIL BOX IN 10 DAYS.. so after a week without see any change on the USCIS website i was really freak out, Also called the 800 to ask about it, but ll rather talk to the computer next time cause the agents by phone on USCIS are Robots.. (sorry if im offending the robots)

So.. Today .,. I Finally recieved an update on my case.. Thanks God.. !! So.. For what i read on other forums on VJ some other applicants wait 2 months without any update.. So what they recomend is to After 15 days Do an INFOPASS.. if you go to the INFOPASS website you will find an option while you are scheduling the interview that said something like "IS MY FIRST GREEN CARD AND IM WAITING FOR MY DOCUMENT". Reason why this happening is that sometime the officers have a some delay in THE DOCUMENTATion..

Timeline

Interview on the 20th. starting to get nervous. need some tips guys. how do I prepare? where do I start?

We thought we had to prepare and we ended up too busy to really do anything! However a week before, we gathered all the paperwork (with letters and photos) we wanted to bring as evidence as well as the official papers and copy of our application. We went over them a few times to make sure we weren't forgetting anything. We kept everything neat and ready in a bag.

All we did was go over our relationship timeline a few times to make sure we remembered all the dates and details. Then the night before, we went over the trivia questions we found online just in case, even though we knew it was unlikely they would ask us any of those.

No siggy required but the last name in which the card is being issued should be on the mailbox. Technically USPS is not supposed to deliver USCIS material to a mailbox that does not have a matching name on it.
