Got an email from CRIS stating that my I-130 has been approved. What are my chances on the I-485 interview approval in July? Does this have any impact on the interview? One more thing. The I-485 is viewable online after 5 months! Surprisingly, on the day my I-130 has been approved and updated.

Good sign they approve stuff..

Bad sign if they don't...

You need to "relax" more :)

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

Your chances are really high saspak. The I-485 interview will basically be just for you to prove that you have a legitimate marital union with your spouse. In my case, i was only asked for the originals of the documents i submitted with my application. No question on my entry with B2 visa, the IO didnt even ask how i met my wife. Just have all your documents ready and everything will be fine.

Do documents have to include entry records and a relationship history?

Entry Record is a must. The relationship history could be asked for at the interview. For the application, just the basic stuff. Joint lease, Joint Accounts, Credit Card, Joint Tax Filing/Car Title/Insurance, Marriage Certificate, A few wedding pictures.

I never submitted a relationship history and my I-130 was approved. No RFE's for the I-485 either. But for my I-130 I had a very strong case. My up-coming baby. The 130 was pending for 6 months. I recently submitted proof of upcoming-child and got approved within a week.

You need to bring your I-94, passport and/or other travel documents u used when u entered the US. Relationship history is very important, the IO could or could not ask relationship history questions or documents but is always better to be ready.
