We were summoned for an interview for my husband's AOS (from K-1 visa). We'd spent quite a bit of time gathering all the documentation listed on the appointment letter, but the only things the officer asked to see were our IDs (passport, EAD, and driver's license for him; just driver's license for me). When I offered a notarized copy of our marriage license (as specified on the appointment letter), she said "we don't require certified copies anymore."
The agent explained to my husband that because of a mix-up with his name, two files had been created for him, so she didn't have the K-1 paperwork in front of her and would need to request it, which would cause a delay. He said that he wants to change his name, and she said that if he could get that done within the next month, she could get the new name put on his green card--otherwise he would need to get a new green card with the new name. Then she went over his AOS forms and confirmed the answers with him. I never really had a sense that we were being "interviewed"--there were no questions about our relationship. At one point she took his I-9 form and said she would recommend the case for approval, but that it would probably take about 60 days for him to get the card because of the dual file issue.
We were in an out in less than an hour.
