thanks everybody for the congratulations. and congratulations also to everybody who got approved. we got a letter today from USCIS welcoming me to the US, even though i've been here since march '08. anyways, here's what happened to our interview:

we went to the mount laurel office here in new jersey (i assumed because it's the office closest to where we live) and got there on time. we didn't wait too long i guess because they try to get everybody in on their appointed time. the man who interviewed us didn't look too friendly at first. but during the interview he became nice and very pleasant. we brought with us photos of our wedding, some bills showing our home address although we didn't have anything that showed both our names in it. we also brought some of our pay stubs, check book showing both our names since we didn't receive our bank statement yet, medical insurance card for both of us, and all the things listed in the appointment letter that was sent to us (passport, license, birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.). he made photocopies of some of the documents we brought and kept some of the wedding pics. he asked my wife who were in the wedding pics so he identified everybody. he asked us how and when we met. how long we've dated before we got engaged. then he asked me some questions listed on part 3 of form I-485. after that, he said he's approving our application based on what we have shown and submitted and that he feels our marriage is true and legitimate. at that point my wife and i were very happy and thanked him. he took my I-95 and EAD card, then stamped my passport with I-551. he said to wait for the card to arrive within the next 30 days. after that, we're done. for us, the interview was easy and quick. it only took about 15 minutes. i hope the same goes for everybody who are getting interviewed. thank you everyone for your support. we got through this step without any glitch. hopefuly it goes smoothly until the end of the journey. thanks again.
