I was given a CONDITIONAL instead of a PERMANENT resident card, 2 years married at time of interview

So please, what should I do? I mean, I read the whole forum here and I know I have to file an I-90 and everything, but WHAT ELSE SHOULD I FILE WITH THE I-90? I mean, birth certificates (translated?), marriages certificates, etc.
Send the required evidence according to the instructions on the I-90. That includes proof of why USCIS is incorrect -- in your case that would be the marriage certificate, the interview letter, and a cover letter explaining why USCIS is wrong, i.e. that the interview was after 2 years of marriage.

I'm surprised you didn't dispute the officer's statement in the interview regarding the conditional card.

Is it possible that the officer "punished" me for my B1 visa?
Yes, it's possible, even though he was abusing his authority by doing so.

I called USCIS and they all said that EVERYBODY gets a CONDITIONAL card, nobody gets the permanent, and I know It's a lie because there's a law saying that I'm right, but they don't care.
Never listen to the buffoons on the USCIS phones. Sometimes you might get sensible answers if you manage to speak to a higher level officer, but those who directly answer the phone are basically a bunch of random scrubs they just pulled off the street yesterday.

I haven't gotten my conditional card yet, I'll probably get it in 1 month, but I want be freaking sure I'll do everything right and get what is right for me.
When you get the card, supervisory review may have made it a 10-year unconditional card. There are checks and balances that happen before the card is printed and sent. Sometimes people who were interviewed when it was less than 2 years, and then approved after the 2-year anniversary got a 10-year card. Your case is even more clear cut because you were already past the 2-year mark at the interview. So you may not have to file I-90; wait and see what your card looks like.

But before the card arrives, you could make an Infopass appointment just to check what kind of card they are planning to send. Bring your marriage certificate and interview letter so you can prove you were past the 2-year mark at the interview, if it appears they've listed you for a conditional card. And bring the I-485 receipt notice or approval notice so they can locate your case easily.
