I read a few less than favorable reviews, but our experience today was very very smooth.
Our interview was at 10:10am, we arrived about 9:45. Security was very nice, even though they kept finding something suspicious in my wife's purse, but then as we dug, we couldn't find it. They were laughing, in the end it turned out to be a keychain flashlight, but we didn't realize until after we had passed through security.
Got upstairs, turned in our interview letter, then had a seat. The couple in front of us seemed to get a fairly seriously man, they went in before us. Then about 15 minutes late, our interviewer came out, he had a smile on his face, and I was relieved.
He took us inside, we swore an oath. Asked a few questions, where did you meet, etc. Asked to see our passports, took the I-94 and gave us back the passports. A few more questions, mostly about my work, itt's a bit crazy at the time, so I have been spending a lot of time in LA. I sup... read complete review

A long wait for our appointment (10:20 - 11:3)). Initial impression of our IO was very favorable, but the interview seemed to go wrong when my spouse's English was deemed not good enough to proceed. My fear was that that meant a delay, but it only meant that she called for an on-call translator to make sure that her questions were answered by my spouse and not filtered through me.
Asked the standard legally required questions, asked separately for our 'meeting' stories, family reaction, took some additional papers, returned our original marriage certificate, and copied some photos of our engagewment party, wedding and reception, and a few honeymoon/holiday photos. She talked with me about my background and whether I currently worked (I am retired). She had some intial concerns (I think) about our ability to communicate, but our interaction throughout our interview must have reassured her as we were approved later that afternoon.
All in all a more st... read complete review

We had to wait maybe half an hour past our scheduled time, but that's to be expected.
Our AOS interview in San Francisco was a piece of cake - the guy was really friendly and joking with us the whole time. He spent about 15-20 minutes shuffling papers and organizing our file while chitchatting with us and asking us about how we met, what we did for our wedding and honeymoon, etc. He looked at our wedding photos for a couple of minutes, but didn't even look at any of the other documents (bank statements, our lease, etc etc etc) and said it was okay if I didn't bring them but since I did he added it to our file. Approved!!!

The best experience we've had with immigration officials, to date.
The only frustration was receiving the notice in December listing a number of items we should bring to the January interview, a number of which was never asked for.
But, that aside: Had the nicest Immigration Officer who was professional, courteous, and straight-forward. Asked us to swear to tell the truth. Asked my husband his name, address, and all of the Yes/No q's on the I-485. Confirmed where I work; if we are renting or owning our townhome; asked us how we met; when and where we got married; asked if we'd like to show any pictures - we had ALOT and decided to show 10 that we had pre-selected and printed on a Microsoft Word document with captions of who/what/where/when for each pic (a combo of wedding pics; dinner/lunch outings with friends/colleagues; holidays at my parents house, etc.).
My advice:
Get there early to find a good parking spot. We got there an hour... read complete review
