My interview was yesterday at 9:45am. We got there around 8:25 because my MIL had her interview/oath ceremony at 9. Went through security pretty quickly as there wasn't anyone else there. We were not allowed into the adjustment waiting area because we were too early but the security on the citizenship floor was kind enough to let us sit and wait in there. We headed back to the adjustment area around 9:20, gave a lady at the window our letter and sat waiting to be called in. Finally around 10:35, we were called. As we walked into the interview area, the IO made a joke about how complicated my name is...lol. I get that a lot. We walked into his office, got sworn in and took our seats. Our file was opened on his desk and then he asked for passports, original BC, and my i-94. He then specifically asked for our 2012 tax returns. Fortunately we filed already and handed it over with w-2s. He then asked for additional supporting documents we had. We gave him a stack of bank statements, car insurance, lease, phone bills. I had two photo-books and I had printed out about 6 selected pictures but I decided not to hand them over since I had already bombarded him. I knew he'd ask if he wanted more evidence for our file. He then asked my hubby the following questions:

1) Where did she go to school?

2) What kind of car do you drive?

After that, he turned to me and asked me:

1) Who is your car insurance provider?

2) Who is your landlord?

We answered satisfactorily and he started typing things into his computer. In the meantime, he and my hubby started talking "veteran talk" and I sort of zoned out. He typed some more things, wrote some things on our application and then proceeded to stamp our file. My hubby and me just looked at each other and smiled when we saw the stamp said "approved". He then asked me for all my EADs (I had OPT). He took the OPT one and gave me back the newer one with an envelope and instructions to mail it back in as soon as I get my GC. He printed out an ROC summary and gave us the standard "21 months time" ROC instructions. This all happened in less than 8 minutes. Around 1:15pm, I got the a USCIS status update of "registered permanent resident". Around 4:15pm, I got another one for "I-130 approved".

Thanks to all December filers and VJ. :thumbs:
