my AOS timeline for a Green Card through marriage

hey all. yesterday i finally received my green card and i want to share my timeline with yall, so that it may give some people an idea of how long things are taking. I am also posting it here because, honestly, some of the people in group answered about a thousand questions from me when i was filling out my application. so for that, thank you <3

Timeline: - My husband and I married in Nov.2019. He is a US citizen and i was a DACA recipient-> which i believed helped speed up the process. -April 2020: filled out and submitted application -May 2020: two weeks later USCIS received and accepted application and payment -August 2020: Received letter from USCIS stating that my DACA fingerprints will be use for the AOS process as well. -October 2020: Received notice that my case was ready for interview and the interview would be scheduled to my nearest USCIS field office. in my case this is OKC field office. -Mid December 2020: received noticed that my interview has been schedule for begining of February 2021. -First week of of february 2021: attended interview. two weeks later received noticed that the greencard case has been approved and will be produced. a week later, the green card arrived :)

The whole process took exactly 10 months. I submitted application 04/26/2020 and received green card 02/26/2021. Luckily, i had no setbacks throughout the whole process and everything i submitted seemed to be enough, since i never received any RFEs.

The interview for me was a breeze, literally. it only took about me 15 mins or even less. The agent simply walked me through my application and that was it. she did not ask any additional questions. At the end of the interview she told us " here at our office we will be doing a training session for form I-944. Once we complete that training i will finish your application and if need any extra information i will send an RFE"

The type of proof that we sent in included things like: - Marriage,birth certificates. -photos of wedding (we had a small wedding, no reception). -rent lease. - joint taxes. -joint bank statements. -car insurance. - trip photos. -utility bills. -other bills showing same residency.

I hope this post can help some of yall, like some of yall helped me.

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case.

To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our
