Last update from me for a while! My green card arrived in the mail today... what a relief. Done with immigration for a while, took about 7 months to get my green card which wasn’t too bad, I thought a year at least! Best of luck all. 

In my quest for mental sanity, I´ve been busy the past 11 days  Googling similar cases to mine where people got a "Your case is being held for review.." letter at the end of their interview. Unfortunately, every post I found was either people getting an approval message later that day or many months after, there was no in between. Having this in mind, every day that has gone by since our interview has been HORRIBLE because even though the interview went great, the approval could easily take months. I woke up today thinking why didn't I ask the officer about this or that or why didn't I take our lawyer to the interview? There's so many things I could've done to not be in this situation right now.
 
Today around 10AM I get an email from USCIS and I'm thinking oh well it could be that the case status changed from "Interview scheduled" to "Under review" or something like that. When I read it, my eyes go directly to the words "We ordered your new card - Case status: Card/Document Production" (I-485). WOOHOOO!!!  I was borderline about to cry not only because our case was approved but because my brain can finally rest from the anxiety that this process has placed upon it. 
 
Good luck to everyone on their cases and hopefully I'll get the card in my hands soon like @JasonS1!

They took our birth certificates and compared to what was filed and checked them off. We did not need to supply copies or the originals. They didn't keep anything that was original.
 
I took photocopies of everything as well though, so in the event they wanted to keep something (such as the deed to the new house) they could. I suggest you take photocopies just in case.

I received an update to my status that my green card is in production!

As an update for everyone, I had my AOS interview at the Chicago field office. To summarize it:  nothing to worry about.
 
We showed up 20 minutes before but were only allowed in 15 minutes before so we waited a bit. Went up to floor 2, showed our interview notice and were seated. We waited about 30 minutes before being called. Once in the interviewers office  it was smooth sailing. He asked us for our marriage license, birth certificates, passports, drivers license and the deed to our new house for the change of address. The questions he asked were basic: Where did you meet? When did you get engaged? When did you first start dating? 
 
He must have only asked us maybe 5-6 questions, felt more like a conversation than anything.
 
Interview took about 20 minutes and we were on our way. No approval on the spot however I am confident it will be approved.
