Agree with Mike E, I sent photos of a "celebration of marriage" with my package for removal of conditions. Same set up as you, signed the papers one day and had a party (much) later.

So you're not getting a second interview for it, the next step is the oath ceremony notice? But then you weren't tested for civics and all so that's confusing...

Did you get an answer about your I-751 at all?

Did you file as soon as your 90 day window open? If yes, do you know how does that work when your interview is before the 90 days are up?

Congrats on the interview, you're on the last stretch now! Little disappointed about the oath, I wish there was a same day option.

Some online functions were tied to having up to date info and because I am marked as a non resident it cannot be updated online as well. Taxes withheld in savings account would also change.

No, the passport was fine but I was trying to update my records from non resident to resident so only the green card could do that. They said a state ID might work but only way to know is to put it in the system and check. State ID renewal is in the works right now so I will try again in a few weeks. However I still believe the GC+letter should have been accepted as federal ID that it is What I believe and what's reality though, that's my problem 😁

Really hope that my DMV knows what to do because in that case I do need to make it work...coming up in September. Ugh.

This is a very low stakes question but I just went to a bank to update my contact info (had business there already) and of course the extension letter wasn't accepted as a valid form of id. Called for the manager, explained that it's formally accepted for I9, it's a federal thing etc, no dice. It's not something that will affect me at the moment but given that USCIS has no plans of giving people their plastic green cards I left a complaint to change guidelines and said this is going to become more and more common and the guidelines need to be changed. Anything else that can be done/argued? If I was about to get a loan or something this would've been unpleasant to say the least. I had my GC, letter, passport.

All of these questions are things the lawyer they hired should have explained that are important and briefly prepared them to answer the same thing. I had a lawyer for support really, had a very straightforward case with plenty of evidence and one of the things I got from my lawyer was a list of things we need to know and get right about the relationship - prime example is different first date dates because one partner thinks of first encounter and the other think about the first official date. Also, it is impossible to know but the lawyer could have said something during the interview to maybe steer it in a more positive direction - I had just opened a joint account but shared no credit cards and when the IO started to press a bit too much on that my lawyer interrupted to say that having credit cards wasn't mandatory and please look at the house deed, thank you. It's what they are there for!
