AOS Case approved but card not received
Hi All,
I had AOS interview on 06/01 in Newark, NJ which did not go well.
She asked all the standard question from I-485 form. and asked when did I leave US last time(01/01/2016), when did I arrived last time(01/23/2016), under which status(H1-B). asked to see my H1-B approval notice.
Then, She accused me of being out-of-status(in other words illegal presence in US) for a time between start of my H1-B status and end of my OPT(see below). When argued, she boasted of having more knowledge of laws.(which obviously was wrong because she clearly didn't know about automatic extension of F-1 status when one is approved for H1-B). Then she didn't ask any question about our marrige, she didn't ask for any documents, any pictures. She just asked us to leave. Didn't ask anything to my wife who is petitioning for me. She handed us standard "120 days" waiting letter.
but to my surprise, our case was approved on 06/03. However, since then case status has not changed to "Card in Production". So I don't know how long it will take before my card arrives. I have heard people's status change within a day from "case approved" to "card in production".
Please advice on what should I do?
FYI,
I was F-1 student before my OPT ended on 6/30/2015
Employer filed for H1-B on 04/01/2015
H1-B approved on 06/14/2015
Status changed on H1-B on 10/01/2015
