It will be on the 'check your case status' site when USPS gives them a tracking number.

A review of our AOS interview:

San Diego, CA

Appointment at 8:35am

December 10, 2013

So we left our house at 6:30 to make sure we would get there on time because of morning traffic. We ended up in the area at 7:45 and parked half a mile from the building (we weren't familiar with the area and weren't sure we would find closer or cheaper parking. Turns out there were some closer, cheaper public parking but nevermind). Had coffee and then went to the building. We got there at 8:15. Went through security and then to the waiting room. There were a few people there, also waiting. We checked in and took a seat.

At 8:40am a lady (she was in her late 20s, and looked very friendly) called my name. We weren't sure my wife was supposed to come along but the lady waved for her to follow me. We went in together and to her cubicle.

She swore us in and we sat down. She checked our ids, passports, birth certificates and marriage certificate. She had our entire application in front of her and was checking to make sure our original documents matched what she had. She took my I-94. She stated that this was my adjustment of status interview and that she had already reviewed and approved he I-130. She asked me to verify my name, date of birth, address, my wife's name and date of birth, and asked all the security questions on the I-485. She asked me if I was still a student (with my F1) and if I was planning on pursuing my education after this. Also if I was working and I told her he truth, hat I recently found a job. She asked for the name of the place that hired me.

Then she asked us how we met and she wanted a lot of details, about how the relationship went from friendship to a romantic one, how many times I flew to meet her, where I stayed, which hotel! and when exactly it became romantic. It was more detailed than we expected but we knew all the answers. She asked it the marriage proposal happened at the beginning of our relationship (we started dating January 2011), I said we waited a while, until June 2012. She asked us who proposed and how, we told her the story and she loved it. She asked about our wedding, if we had any guests, where exactly we stayed and for how long, why our families couldn't make it, and if we went on a honeymoon. She also asked about trips we took together.

She then asked if we had brought more evidence proving that we live together. We didn't have anything apart from more recent bank statements, so she asked to see our cellphones to check our photos and text messages. She seemed happy about those. She wanted to see how far our text message conversations went, but we both had gotten new phones recently. She was satisfied anyway.

Lastly, she saw the cute box we had brought along that contained all the letters we sent each other over the years and our photos. She looked through it and told us she loved it that we still wrote each other letters in this era of technology. She then told us we were approved and explained the ROC process.

It took about 30 minutes. She was really nice, we felt very comfortable with her.
