So we went to our interview on December 13 and our I-485 case was updated online with "Interview Was Completed And My Case Must Be Reviewed". A couple days later we received the approval notice for the I-130 but the online status still says "Case Was Received" and it hasn't change since 08/03/2017. 

 

We also filed I-765 & I-131 renewal and it's been pending for 189 days. I submitted a Case inquiry however it states that it is currently not assigned for processing and I should hear back in January.

 

Now given that the I-130 didn't have an update online is it possible that we might just receive the Green card in the mail without an online update also?

 

After the interview the officer told us it could take up to 4 weeks for us to receive the Green card and also advised us to do an Infopass appointment so my husband can get the I-551 stamp in his passport. I know the infopass appointments are going away in 2019 so I don't know how this is going to be accomplished if needed.

 

Maybe I'm just too impatient but we are sooo close to the finish line and I would love for my husband to be able to travel again as we didn't receive a 180 extension to the I-131, only the I-765.

The online thing is not very reliable. I did get the "approved" and "GC on its way" updates for I-130 in a timely manner, but another one of the three cases (I forget which one) triggered a text message 9 months after we were all approved and done. Scared the ####### out of me, receiving a text from USCIS about a case status update out of nowhere.

 

I got my physical card about a week after the approval decision. If you have USPS Informed Delivery, the tracking number for the card should appear in your dashboard.

 

What's the deal with infopass going away in 2019?  O_o  Is that really a thing?

I actually was able to schedule an infopass this morning which will be on January 7. Hopefully they will allow us the I-551 stamp.

Yes, but if you read the link @little immigrant provided USCIS can still schedule certain in person services like getting the I-551 stamp: "transitioning from the InfoPass appointment system to the Information Services Modernization Program has improved the delivery of emergency and other services that can only be provided in person and made operations more efficient overall."
