Got approved today. Thank God!

Green card arrived in the mail today

UPDATE:
Guess what guys?!! We got APPROVED!!! I've never felt so relieved in my life! You see even when me & my husband though we had done terribly come to find out we really didn't do as bad as we taught!!! God is so good and never stop believing and always have faith!
Hope you could find our story inspiring and I wish you all the best of luck!!!

It's all done by you. You find a Civil Surgeon at uscis.gov. You make an appointment for an "immigration medical." The CS fills out the form with the results and gives you a sealed envelope (do not open envelope). You send sealed envelope in with your initial package.
Call different CSs and get quotes for the medical. Try to find one around $200 or less.

1. Yes your husband in the only sponsor. You don't have to add your income is he qualifies.
2. There is a box somewhere that says something like "becoming a Permanent resident."
3. Yes you see a USCIS-designated civil surgeon before and get the results of your exam on the I-693 and out into a sealed envelope. You send the sealed envelope to them in your packet. Biometrics is NOT a medical exam, just fingerprints and a photograph - different thing.
4. Option A.

The AOS Guides here (see link atop any VJ page) are very helpful. In brief:
Marry within the 90 days of entry into the U.S.
Take every step to get more than one copy of your marriage certificate, rapidly.
Have the funds already allocated to be able to file for AOS as soon as possible.
File just as soon as possible after you've married.
Most definitely file for AP & EAD at the very same time.
General advice on important documents (not necessarily immigration-related, but to ease your path in your new country):
Depending on how much time you can stay in your country after receiving the visa (meaning, are you traveling within days of receiving it, or can you stay longer?), get more than one copy of these and similar documents:
Your birth certificate.
Divorce or death certificates of previous spouse(s), if applicable.
Birth certificates of children, if applicable.
University transcripts or school records.
All medical, dental, & vaccination records (see below) that you can lay your hands on.
Your driver's license from your country, with as long a term of validity as possible.
Any other official document that would be impossible or expensive to request from the U.S.
In regard to vaccinations, get all of them in your country, as is possible. Have a doctor transcribe them onto an officially signed/stamped paper that you get at least two copies of. If you got vaccinations as a child, ask your doctor or clinic to provide or reconstruct your record for you. Vaccination information is required during the AOS process, and these papers could prove to be invaluable to you.
The above is a "quick & dirty" overview. Study the VJ Guides, and pay attention to what knowledgeable VJ members have to offer in this thread and in the ones that you'll surely review in the main AOS forum.
