For 'certified copy of your marriage document', do I need to copy the original marriage certificate and then certify it from a notary or just a copy will do? Btw, I just have one thing, not a separate license and certificate as I was married in India. Is that an issue?

I just got out of my interview. They gave me a piece of paper that says "your application has been recommended for approval" and she did not take my I-94. I don't know what to think. =/

I hope so!
OK, now that I have a little more time to write, here is how it went this morning:
My appointment was at 8.15AM and my husband and I arrived there at 8.00AM. we passed through the security and went to the main reception where they signed us in and sent us upstair to the lobby where the offices are.
We signed in again there and 5 minutes later we were called in.
The IO was a pleasant guy ~35-40yo who brought us to his office, introduced himself, asked for an ID, swore us in, and then made us sit to begin the interview.
He asked how we met and my husband told him, then he asked me a few basic question about my self (DOB, SSN, address....) and just asked my husband if he was still holding his position at work as stated in the application.
Then he asked us if we have any kid and I said "well, the first one is on his way" and he looked at my 7-months pregnant belly, smiled, asked me for my due date, asked a few questions from the "no" section of the I-485 and then said he would approve my GC and it will be in the mail in 7-10 days. Asked us if we were familiar with the conditional limitation for the green card as we are married since less than 2 years and we said yes.
The he asked if we had any question for him so I asked if he needed to see all the proofs we brought (I had a very heavy bag of pictures, documents, ecc) and he said no (guess the kiddo was a proof good enough for him).
I asked him if he needed to take my I-94 and he said "oh yes! thanks!" (So Claudia don't worry, they probably just forgot with you like he was about to do with me).
I asked him if they weren't putting anymore the stamp on the passport and he said they do it just if someone needs to leave the country in the next few days or so b/c if not now the GC arrives very fast and there is no need for it.
After this he wished us a good day and then we left. All in all it took less than 10min
And this is the story of my very happy morning.....havent' stop smiling since
Good luck to everyone still waiting for the interview and I'll be around for a little while in case anyone has questions. It has been really nice to go thorugh this experience with you all!!!!!

So this is what happened guys:
My appt was at 10 am and they called me around 10:50 am. I went with my husband, my two kids and my lawyer.
The first question was if we have any kids together and we said yes and she asked for her birth certificate which it doesn't have my name on it for reasons I don't wanna discuss. I could tell the birth certificate was a big deal. Then next question was how we met and my husband answer. After that she asked my husband for our address and my birthday and that was pretty much all. She gave me the document saying she recommended the approval and around 1:30pm I got an email saying the card was ordered! Now the I130 is on initial review. Is that normal? Can eithe one of the people that already got approved tell me if your is approved?
Thx!!

Aninna I'm super happy for you! Did your I130 got approved too?
My I130 is still in "Initial review" but they guy said we would receive 2 notification letters, one for the I130 and one for the I485. I got a text for "card production" for the I485 but I have to say the text system worked randomly for me, sometimes I had updates on-line sometimes I didn't even though I recived letters at home....
Anyway, seems like you're all set and green-carded
congratulations!!!!!claudiahel

Ok, thx everyone!!! I feel so happy, after 8 years I am finally someone in this country!!!!! Good luck everyone! Mimi I'll be checking on you, no doubt!!!
Congrats Claudia so happy for you!!!! Dont worry, my I-130 has been approved since August and it is still on initial review, I doubt it will ever change!! Your kids are the greatest evidence of your marriage so dont stress it too much and you got the approval mail so you are now a permanent resident!!!!
Wish me luck on Monday!!!! Dusting myself with fairy dust...he he he
Congrats claudiahel and annina!!
I just checked my online cases, and my I485 is on card production, the i130 is on initial review, and i765 is "post decision activity" even though I already have the card.
So I'm not sure if the system is slow, or if there is any internal processing that needs to be done prior to updating the system.
Well... Good luck to upcoming interviews, magic fairy dust for everyone.

Congratulations Claudia and Aninna! The journey is over for you yay!!
Djhash the e-mail notification thing is so crazy. I've gotten the card production e-mail twice and then it went back to post-decision activity "we have mailed you a letter" yesterday. Well my dad received his welcome letter on Monday and I received mine today, so I'm not sure what's going on...
