As long as you were married within the 90 days and you have now submitted the I-485 adjustment of status package to the Chicago lockbox of U.S.C.I.S., you probably did everything okay. You can generally expect a receipt from U.S.C.I.S. approximately 3 – 4 weeks after submitting the paperwork. U.S.C.I.S. does not have instantaneous action to send a receipt and for you to receive it within a week in adjustment of status situations.

If you're Canadian, why not just come here as a visitor and file the proper papers here, if you want to live here. No reason to be waiting in Canada if you're marital home is in the USA. The I-130 can typically take up to a year, right now.

Are you traveling to the country from which you got asylum? My recommendation is not to go to that country until you become a U.S. citizen although I know people have traveled to their home country and still been able to keep their green card and even obtain citizenship. Your asylum approval was on the basis that you were afraid to return to your home country. If you now return without fear then there is a question if the asylum should be revoked or was fraudulent to begin with.
