Folks who have received their Green cards , how many days does it usually takes to get it in the mail after the interview. 

Mine came 17 days after interview. 2-3 weeks seems correct. Is your status approved and card produced?

Oh that's good news!!! I have to say, the interview was so smooth I almost enjoyed having it. 

Just once again, be ready to be called in separately, every single couple went USC first and the foreigner second.

Congratulations!! Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm hoping you could provide more details on the following:

1. When he asked you about how you guys met and so on, did he ask a specific person (you or your spouse) or was it just up in the air for anyone to answer?

2. Did he take the temp EAD or give it back?

3. Did he see any additional document you bring (e.g. joint IRS tax transcript)?

4. Did he ask anything about why you guys did small civil ceremony first?
