We were approved on a spot on July 27th, got "card production" email on the next day July 28th. I recevied my welcome notice on August 3 and no updates since then. I called USCIS and they told me I should get it by September 26, but the IO told us I will get it in 1,5-2 weeks after the interview. Well it's been almost 3 weeks already and I'm getting realty upset and anxious :(
