Phoenix AZ, Expedited Case
So... my husband is in the Air Force and is being deployed in May, so we requested to have our case expedited.
My time lines are as follows:

01/13/16 - Sent the documentation to USCIS

01/15/16 - Received at the office

01/22/16 - Received text with receipt number

**made a login for the USCIS website**

**inputted the receipt number**

01/25/16 - USCIS updated explaining that a letter will be sent

01/28/16 - Letter received informing me that a biometrics appointment letter will be sent.

01/29/16 - Biometrics appointment letter received, appointment for 02/09/16

02/01/16 - Went to USCIS for biometrics appointment (walk in), took 20 minutes tops.

SAME DAY - Called to request expedite service due to husband's deployment date being given.

02/09/16 - Letter received, Request for Initial Evidence. This consisted of Tax Return forms, marriage certificate, sponsor information (because my husband's income as seen as just under the poverty bracket for the previous year).

02/11/16 - Sent parcel of Initial evidence to MO via express, next day guaranteed delivery.

02/12/16 - USPS confirmed USCIS received parcel at 10:08

02/16/16 - Received update from USCIS explaining that they have received the evidence and will continue to work on my case immediately.

02/22/16 - Received letter explaining that my immigrations interview is going to be at 0715 on 29th February 2016.

02/29/16 - Interview with immigrations officer. She was very nice and asked very reasonable questions. I will post separate experience for exact interview details.

02/29/16 - (Same day) Text received saying my case is updated. I logged on to my USCIS profile and found that it was updated to, "On February 29, 2016, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number MSC YYYY YYYY XX, and will mail it to the address you gave us."

I was told by the USCIS officer that my Green Card will be with us in one week (usually) and that I need to update Social Security and get an SSN. She also said that I should go to DMV to gain a drivers license, too. Very helpful!

Usually, this whole process would have been longer (I imagine), but this might be good information for all.

Good Luck Everyone! If anyone has any information as to how long it takes for a Green Card to be received from this point, I will gladly welcome it! :)
