At our interview we were 11 days short of our 2 year marriage anniversary, so the USCIS IO did us a favor and Held off processing the approval of our case until after our two year anniversary, so we could get the LPR GC. that extended our time frame a bit.

The entire process took about 6 months from filing to GC

having the 10 Year GC was well worth the wait.

So why did it take so long for them to send me the welcome letter! They told me at interview I'd get the Green Card within 2 weeks. Right now its looking to be 2 months.
