Interview Completed in MN

[slidingdoors 3]

Well we just went in for our interview in St. Paul, MN. We got taken into the room right at our appointment time and on the way our IO had some idle chatter with us. We got sworn in and the IO asked for our IDs, passport and I-94. She didn't ask for the EADs but I handed them over anyway. She took the two expired ones and gave me the current one back. She started with basic Qs for my wife like what is your name, is this your signature, etc. Then she asked how we met. I was really nervous and kept interrupting my wife which I feel bad about. Then we got asked the following Qs:

- When did you move in together

- Do you have joint accounts? - Yes, 2 checking and one saving.

- Do you still have individual accounts? - Wife has one for her business, I have a savings acct.

- Where do both of you work?

- Has your employer filed for an H1? - No

The the IO asked me the basic 485 questions and about my F1 history.. She then handed me my I94 & Passport back. She said she'd need to review the file further but we'd get a response soon. I asked to turn in some utility bills because originally, I'd only given in a screenshot of the online account. I wanted to turn in more of the evidence like insurance docs, etc. which weren't in our original filing but I was nervous so I didn't. I'm kicking myself for it because hey, they shouldn't dislike more evidence right? Anyway, It's been an hour so far and no change on the online system.

I'm nervous but my wife thought it all went well. I was obsessing about the fact that she returned my I-94 and EAD but I've since read that some of you got yours back too. I'm a little surprised with how nervous I was in the interview because right upto the point we went in, I was fine.
