How long to receive green card after interview?

[Britishnewlywed91 0]

Hi all, new to the website and just added my visa timeline and thought I'd share my experience. I was married in April and me and my husband sent the i485 and i130 and got a priority date of May 15th. EAD got here in the estimated time (August 14th) and had my interview at the Jacksonville office today (October 22nd).

I was so confident going on as id put all of our pictures and documents together neatly - one folder of originals, one folder of photocopies, and knew that we would approved as we had absolutely nothing to hide. In the interview, never been so nervous in my life! The interviewer was not mean or didn't twist any of our answers, but I hadn't realized that my name wasn't listed on our apartment lease! She was not impressed with this obviously but told us for our two year interview to definitely get that rectified.

She swore us both in at the beginning (we were 45 mins early and were nice enough to see us early!) asked how we met, asked about our wedding and asked husband how he proposed. Then she asked me the questions on the i485 form, asked for supporting documents (only looked at birth certificate, marriage certificate and snapshots of our wedding website) and then had us both sign the approval form and told us it would be here within two months! We are both so relieved and so happy that we get to spend the rest of our lives together!

Now it's just the waiting game of when the card will get here, anyone have any experience with this? I was planning a trip home in the next couple weeks but sadly looks like I'll have to wait, I haven't been back to England in a year and a half (was on a J1 visa before I got married) and I want to go home soon as I already a funeral and want to be with my family sooner rather than later. Any other experiences would be so helpful, and I'm happy to answer any questions
