Our status changed to Case was Approved but only for I-765 and we also applied for I-131, no changes on I-131. Does that mean we will only have the I-765?

Check out our timeline under the AOS section.  I wrote a novelette.  Ha ha

But one think about these interviews.  They're like snowflakes.  All are different.  Depends on agent, USCIS office, etc.  Ours was a little interesting.  More questions it seems than several others but not confrontational really.  Just Q&A.  You'll be fine.

Ours did that too. When they mailed out the card both statuses finally changed. Congrats!

At the end of the day, I think getting it "wrong" shouldn't equal a denial.  They probably just want to see if it is too rehearsed or if you stumble too much.  Maybe think of other details you could remember?  This worries me some because my husband would be the one interviewing primarily and he is SO NOT detail oriented.  hahaha

Exactly. Me being a guy, I pay no attention to this stuff. Now my wife would know this stuff. Since she redecorated when she came to the US.

Yeap!  I think they are more concerned about the Yes/No questions from the AOS packet and the fact that you CAN answer some of the living together questions.  If you don't remember, you don't remember.  Plus, the must know men just don't pay attention to that (or so they should).  Maybe that's why they asked her this question?

I had my interview with yesterday and we were approved on the spot! 🎉

 

Here's my review in case it helps anyone:

 

AOS INTERVIEW ATLANTA FIELD OFFICE.

My appointment was at 745, but we left the house at 645. What was meant to be a 30 min drive was almost 50 mins (THANKS TO ATL TRAFFIC🙃) LOL, we arrived at the office and went through security check first, it was kind of like airport security check. The officers were super friendly and professional. Definitely eased the tension. Once we were through the security check we had to check ourselves in, they asked for my appointment letter and my ID. They took my photo, finger prints and gave me a number. We were told to wait for our number to be called. By the time we sat down it was 7:37. Our number showed up on the screen indicating we were going to be called next, so we moved and waited at the door. We were called after 10 mins of waiting. The officer was pretty strict and professional. LOL, I walked in and asked how he was and almost sat down and he was like no don't sit yet. He asked us to raise our right hand and asked us if we swear to tell the truth. The man said very little and did a lot of typing and flipping through our paperwork. He asked for my BC and my husband proof he's a citizen. He then asked my husband how we met. After that he began checking boxes and dating them. (One box actually said approved by interview) LOL, but he continued with the questions. He asked when I moved to Canada from the US. (I lived in America for 10 years when I was younger) I told him I had documentation for it and he said he didn't need it. He asked my husband what he does for work, then asked me if I work. He looked up at me and said I see you have some photos, I didn't bring much only about 10, he just basically skimmed through them. He told us that our case was actually one of the easiest cases he's had to deal with. After some more typing he asked me if I have ever been arrested and explained I was approved and I'll be getting a 2 year green card with steps on what do after the 2 years. I asked if he needed any of my supporting documents and he said he has all he needs in our file. We were out of the office by 8:20. Got an email that new card was produced at 8:30. The actual interview took about 20 mins. There were probably about 12 couples all together including us. I thought it would be packed considering ATL's long wait times. But, I figure it was because the office opens at 7:00am.
