Employment Based Greencard

Just got my change if status approved based on my I-140 from almost 2 years ago.

The issue I think was that we married right before my change of status request. When we went in for the interview the officers at first could no understand why we were even called for the interview since the merits on getting this card was purely on employment and not marriage. Nevertheless we mentioned to him that we suspected it was for that reason and he reviewed our documents for a few minutes and asked us the basic laundry list of questions from if you are a communist to a terrorist.

here is my timeline:

Waiting now for the green cards to be mailed to our lawyer office

Finally this whole ordeal is over, I hope in 5 years we can get our citizenship. I was wondering if there was a short cut to citizenship. I head through the military, but not sure I want to go that route since Trump is the current commander and chief.

Good Luck everyone.

I wonder how long it will take for the cards to be mailed out.
