Adjustment of Status - I-485

I have been a long time reader of the forum and it has really helped me during my Marriage based Green Card Application. I will try and give answers to the queries that any of you have since this forum was a great help to me and I would like to give back.

My wife (US Citizen) and I have been married since July 2016 and we filed for my GC in March 2018. I have been in the US for the last 12 years on F-1, H1B visas. My marriage based GC application was approved and i received my GC today (09/18/2019).

Here is the history of my application process:

No activity/ current update from USCIS between August 2018 to August 2019.

Documents prepared and carried for the interview (originals and copies): Passports, Birth Certificates, Marriage certificate, Joint Tax Returns, Joint Bank account statements for 3 months, Joint Credit Card Statement for 3 months, Apartment Lease, Health Insurance, Car Insurance, Employment verification letters, total of 15-20 photos combined (before marriage, wedding, after marriage, vacation etc.)

September 9, 2019: Interview in San Francisco USCIS Office. Interview pretty straight forward. The officer asked for basic information related to the application, how long we were married, where do we work etc. Application was not approved on the spot but we were provided with a letter for “Under Review” with no additional documents required.
September 11, 2019: Online Status changed to green card in Production
September 12, 2019: Online status changed to I-485 and I-130 Approved. Notice/ Letter mailed
September 13, 2019: Online Status changed to Green Card ready for shipment
September 16,2019: I-130, I-485 approval notice mail received
September 16: Online Status updated to Green card being picked up by USCIS
September 19: Green Card received.

The process did take a long time (1 years 6 months) but in the end the application was reviewed and approved.

I did have the advantage of being on a valid H1-B visa during the time i waited for my GC to process so I wasn't very stressed but this forum and the responses helped ease any anxiety that creeped in during my application.

Hang in there and best of luck for your application and immigration process.
