We had our appointment scheduled for 7.15. We arrived there around 7 and walked right in. The waiting room was freezing. We had to wait until 9.30 for them to call us in (apparently there was a mixup with our appointment).
Anyway, we went into the IO's cubicle (she was a young woman, very pleasant). She made us raise our right hand and swear that we would say the truth. Then she asked for our IDs.
She started by asking my husband why he had a different address (he owns another appartment besides the one we live in but hasn't changed the address onm his DL). We said he hadn't been able to do it but that we live together in the address listed in mi DL (which is true, of course.
Then she asked to see my original birth certificate, passport, his naturalization certificate and our marriage certificate.
Then she asked where we had met. Since we met in the US while I was working on a J1 she asked about the 2-year home residency requirement, which I fulfilled, so she checked my old passport to corroborate.
After that she started asking a series of yes/no questions (are you a terrorist?, are you a comunit?, etc)
She asked to see some proof of our marriage. We showed her a joint bank account and car insurance, and my life insurance showing my husband as beneficiary. She said it wasn't a lot, but we told her we've only been married for 3 months. She understood.
Then she asked to see pictures of our wedding. WE showed her a few, but she didn't keep any (I had already submitted copies in my package).
She explained to us the removal of conditions after 2 years and then asked me if I had taken my husband's name. I asked if I could change it for the green card and she said yes, so she changed it.
She didn't stamp my passport, but said that the card should arrive in the mail soon.
Overall it went really well. The whole interview must have lasted 15 minutes at the most.
Now we just have to wait for it to arrive in the mail!!
