For AOS ALL beneficiaries are required to have a biometrics appointment. They will take your wife's picture and digital fingerprints. Generally, this appointment takes place within a month (more or less) of sending the packet. The actual Adjustment of Status may be processed without an interview. The picture that they will take at the biometric appointment will be the picture that will be used for your wife's permanent resident and employment authorization cards and NOT the pictures you submitted with the paperwork. Make sure that she is happy with her hairstyle, earrings, and overall appearance that day. My husband forgot to remove his earrings before the picture was taken and now complains that he looks unprofessional with his zirconia studs in the cards...

It's your Biometric appointment it is also too early to say you do not have any RFE's, hopefully you don't.
