Well, they *say* permanent, but it's actually a 2 year conditional residency. I have to apply again at the end of those 2 years, for a 10 year residency 
The interview was a piece of cake after all the horror stories I'd heard about the grilling they give you at immigration.... she didn't even ask how we met !!
I'd taken photos and emails we'd written in 2005/6, affidavits from friends to say we were a genuine couple, all the shit that immigration actually ask for.... but she didn't even ask for it, just stamped my passport and told me I'd get the card i about 2 weeks 
I guess we had a better chance of not being grilled because I wasn't from a south American country... most there were of hispanic origin and couldn't speak english, which I guess is the norm in Miami. Although I thought they'd give us a hard time about the 23 year age difference.
But it was a breeze, so now i can actually travel outside the US again

On the way back from Miami, I dropped into my doctors office to get a copy of my medical records, then we went to IHOP for lunch. In the evening I was feeling bad, but we still managed to polish off a bottle of $40 champagne
