Yes it comes  very quickly. They will send you a tracking number with your next status. Next status is card picked up by USPS. After you get the tracking number it's a matter of days before the card is in hand.

Just received the update of our tracking number. Says it will be delivered Thursday. Getting very real now. This may just happen.  Ahhhh!!!! 
Thanks @Sarge2155 for your help on this step.

Ours actually came a day before it was expected  so be on the look out on Wednesday. You are in there now, this is NO ERROR!

Same boat, interview would've been on 03.28 but got cancelled, logged into my USCIS account last week on a whim and saw I was approved, and today status has been changed to card mailed with tracking number and green card is supposed to arrive on Wednesday!
Approval by mail also came today. So happy! 😁 And for you as well. 🙏

That’s amazing Congrats!🎈🍾!  I know of 5 cases now. My husband and another couple that was approved came from the same field office and same apt day. 
IDK how or why just feel super lucky. 
Pretty sure we may see more and more waived if your apt was already scheduled and cancelled. 
Amidst all that the world is going through,  it’s nice to see some good news.

Looks like they are slowly  trying to roll in these waivers. I truly feel fortunate to have been able to get one. I'm  very sure there are many more to come. I'm  pulling for everyone!

Green Card came in early this morning🙏🍾🎈🎊🥂! 
Pretty sure we will see many more on the way.  
Officially taking a small break until ROC. 
We found this site after submitting the K1 and initially paid for RV Premium Processing. 
The rest of the process we decided to DIY with guides and advice here. 
At times very frustrating and not feedback we wanted but needed to hear. 
In hindsight, appreciated. 
From the new to tenure VJ members that make up this site, the knowledge is priceless. 

Thanks Again!

Something different that I haven't seen yet happened to me. My I130 was approved. My interview was cancelled and since then it has been ready to be rescheduled. Does anyone know why my i130 has been approved prior to my interview?

That's normal. I-130 approval means that a qualifying relationship has been established for immigration. Sometimes I-130 is approved before I-485 adjudication.

So that means the interview is still needed?

Unless you get a notice of approval for the I-485, assume it is. If it gets waived, cool.

OMG congrats!

 

Question, had you also filed for work authorization and travel authorization? If so, did you get those approved before this? Because online my work authorization and travel document are still processing, but the I-485 has been updated to say it says they are going to schedule me for an interview -  "  Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview - As of May 6, 2020, we are ready to schedule your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number XXXXXX, for an interview. We will schedule your interview and send you a notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice." 

 

I thought I would get the travel document and work authorization first, with 4-7 months, and  the actual green card much later??

The I-765 and I-131 are processed by the NBC. The I-485 is handled by the local field office.

Sometimes the local field office is faster than NBC. If so, they will issue the green card and the other forms are no longer needed.

 

Note that being ready to be scheduled for an interview does not mean they stop processing the forms at NBC. You can be in that status for many months, depending on local field office. In my wife's case, it was in that status for ~8 months before getting the interview scheduled notice.

To me having only the i130 approved at this stage just seems a bit odd since my application is at the field office already. Unless they still want me to be there for a interview to find something else beyond my marriage status.
