My wife and I had our AOS interview the other day. We go in, go through security, and to the lobby upstairs. There is a receptionist that you give your interview letter to and they give you a restaurant coaster buzzer. The lobby is nice with TVs and bench seating. The guards were funny. I made a comment about the security being like the airport. They said yeah but we're more friendly. The receiptionist smiled and was nice. The interviewing officers seemed to generally have a friendly disposition. Some were openly smiling, others were more neutral.
Our officer came out, and took us back to his office. We were sworn in together. The basic flow seems to be:
1. house keeping - collect IDs, copies, birth certificates, etc.
2. go over 129F (when did you marry, when divorced)
3. evidence of a relationship (photos, ...)
4. 485 yes/no questions
5. wrap up
I was married before and had sponsered them which will draw their attention. He spent alot of time on the evolution of our relationship, the actual proposal specifics, etc.
I brought a lot of photos and he went through them all which seemed to take up most of the time. I brought photos from before and after the marriage. Lots of family. This seemed to satisfy him. He didn't go through the utility bills or anything.
The officer seemed to be geniunely interested and was very nice. He didn't give a decison at the interview but a few days later I checked on line. It said the welcome letter had been sent.
