I’m Nigerian too Josh and I came here on a K1. I already have my green card and awaiting my citizenship. I can relate to your confusion but not knowing the rules is the biggest downside. 
 
please help me get your story straight: you came here on a spouse (marriage) visa, but you were already married two years so you were approved for a 10year GC. At this point your sponsor is abusing you because she’d rather be with another man but since she helped to get you a GC and she’s now out of a job she wants you to pay some or her bills in order to keep your green card. She’s also threatening to push for revocation of your GC should you not comply with her demands…..is this your story ? 
 
My answers: 
She absolutely can not revoke your green card, she doesn’t have such powers. She can send whatever she wants to USCIS and won’t be the first bitter spouse to do that, USCIS don’t just pander to sponsors just because they are sponsors. it’s a scare tactic. It’s either she doesn’t know the rules herself or just exploiting your ignorance as a newcomer. 
 
Settle yourself into a new address. Go to social security and apply to replace your card.  If you never got it at your old address, just tell them you never got it since she got it and didn’t give it to you. 
 
Also, there’s an application you can file to replace your lost green card on USCIS website. You can follow this procedure to replace your card. 

If you are sure she has your card, you can call the cops and report domestic abuse and they can help to get your card back, especially if you have evidence that it’s still in her possession.
 
Thirdly, she filed to be your sponsor, that’s a legally enforceable contract until you become a citizen or until you have worked 10years in the US, I believe that’s how that law applies (I stand to be corrected). I bet she doesn’t know this too.

congrats on your approval. They just keep making mistakes every now and then and like I implied earlier, its the applicants that suffers it all. Lawyers mean money, the longer they drag it out, the more money it is for lawyers too. I just hope the error with your GC is resolved easily. After taking your experience into consideration, I have decided to do another full medical exam, just to be on the safe side. I just don't trust that they do anything right these days

do you have any idea, what should be contained in the new medical? the instruction actually said K1 medical report only need to be valid as at the time of AOS but the i/o says its now expired even though it was valid at the time of application. does it mean that i need to do a new medical all over again or just the vaccination pages of the i-693 is required to be filled out by a Civil surgeon as suggested by some threads. 

I received my approval notice on 08/23 and got card 08/25. I don't know why you haven't received yours. It came as a USPS priority mail which normally takes 2-3 business days and going by the fact that we received the approval notice on the same day, I would think you should have it by now.

Well, I just found out after checking my case tracker app, uscis app and egov.uscis.gov  that my EAD is been produced and is on its way in the mail. 
Here is my timeline in case it helps anyone or gives someone hope during this very traumatizing longer processing times:

2. Packet received: 04/13
3. Notice date: 04/26
4. New card is being produced: 08/17

Hampshire air must be really pure....lol. She was indeed very nice and friendly. Infact she told me I can call everyday since they can't tell exactly when it comes through, ideally between 2-6weeks she said.
