Hi! Please help, is there anyone here been interviewed for their adjustment of status? I-485. If yes, what questions can they possibly ask? My husband and I have an interview this coming february at the san jose office in santa clara california. 
thanks for any input you guys will say

questions are usually related to what you entered on the forms, your relationship( how you met, how long you were dating, names, families, places etc) nothing like a SAT exam but more like that you know each others and about your relationship. 

duh

They might ask about family (what are your in-laws names and what do they do for work? When is your spouse's birthday? Where did your spouse grow up?) About your life together (Describe your spouse's job.  Where do you live?  Do you like the city you live in?  What is your favorite thing to do together?) Stuff that shows you know each other well, live together, and spend significant time building your relationship.

Hello guys,

just want to put my two cents on the adjustment of status interview my husband and I had this morning. 

Our interview schedule time is 9:15am at San Jose Field Office and we arrived at the location 30 minutes before our interview. After my husband had his biometrics at one of the windows, we were instructed to take a seat and wait for our number to be called. After a few minutes of waiting that felt like hours, our number is called and the nice officer greeted us and took our I-797 Notice of Action along with the attached number given to us at the reception. Mind you, my husband and I were a bit nervous because at the waiting area there are a lot of couples that brought along their attorneys and after some time they leave the room looking flabbergasted. 
So as the nice officer led us to her office, we were both sworn in and Here comes the questions. 
First, she asked my husband how we met, she asked him to elaborate on the dates

Second, she asked about our living conditions

Third, she clarified whatever we inputed on the form we submitted on filing for I-485.  Once in a while, I will ask permission to step in the conversation whenever I feel my husband is trying to explain a certain situation especially when he came here in the US. 
Then she ask when did my husband started working and asks about our pictures together. We gave her a bunch of pictures along with a little narrative on where and who were in the picture with us. 
After that, our interview was approved on the spot! We wanted to scream and all but managed to contain ourselves. A little tip, the officer did not ask for any other documents but I took it upon myself to give it to her for her record like our lease agreement, joint bank account and my recent paystubs and the most current w2 forms etc. anything that will solidify your relationship. I gave it to her since on the original submission of I-485, we did not have those yet. So all in we both thank the officer who interviewed us and headed home. The interview only lasted a little over 12 minutes. After that I checked on uscis website that my husband's green card is being produced and will come in the mail in as little as 30 days. 
So for everyone still waiting for their interview, relax and be calm and bring all necessary documents. I know every interview varies but I just want to share our experience and hope that somehow this will help others who are going and went through the same thing we did. This website visajourney truly helps a lot. It sure helped me and my husband with our journey. More power
thanks
