Thank you - this is reassuring. They do have my US address and verified this in my interview, so I won't worry about it at this point! Appreciate your response.

I just paid the $220 immigration fee online -- and they "strongly recommend" I change my address in the USCIS portal to ensure that I receive my green card. (They do have the correct address that I gave them at the time of interview...) I'm confused, though -- the USCIS account is under my husband's name as he is my petitioner... (which I can't seem to change) and it's asking for my A# and case #. But it's under HIS name. So it looks like HE'S the immigrant? Am I doing this wrong?

I received an instruction sheet with my visa that says all I need is the visa/passport to cross the border. As appleblossom said, it states on the visa "IV DOCS IN CCD" so they have everything they need, already. You need to pay the $220 fee for your green card to USCIS (you can do so online), ideally before you cross. But that's it. There is no "packet" that I am aware of.

I had passport and visa in hand 2 days after my interview... It was crazy quick! Good luck!

It helps immensely! I was checking the wrong site! I just checked on the correct link you sent and it says ISSUED!!! SO happy. Thank you!!

Where does the status of one's case show up on the site?

Finished the most insanely quick and simple interview ever. The consular officer said that she planned to approve me BUT one of her systems was down and she couldn't officially approve until the system was back. And, that if when the system came up and they need anything else they will "let me know". Of course I asked for clarification because I am not clear on how I will know once I am official and she was unclear on how long it would take. She kept my passport and gave me a sheet on how to track my passport/visa. I asked questions but feel very unclear on how to know if I am officially approved? Will the CEAC site show this? Still kind of spinning.

Still waiting. I have my interview scheduled, coming up in less than 2 weeks. If all goes well I'm hoping to be reunited soon after that! It's been a long process, but that being said, it took me awhile to get DQ'd because they decided to require a joint sponsor. (Probably added a month to six weeks to the timing). And, I did visited twice without any issues. I ensured that I had all documents that indicated I WAS returning, including: -Return flight ticket -Return shuttle ticket (from airport to home) -Letter from my employer indicating I am still employed here + most current paystub -Previous i-94 information indicating/proving that I have never overstayed my time limit Upon crossing the border both times I was only asked to see the return flight ticket. But you can never be too careful.
