We had a 10am interview scheduled for my wife. After going through security and checking in (they still hadn't updated their clock for DST at the front desk), we went to the big waiting area. After about 30 minutes my wife's name was called and we met the interviewer and went back to her office. She started with the swearing in then began verifying the basic 485 information. My wife was quite nervous, but she relaxed after the interviewer started going through all the 485 yes/no questions. I could see her start to smile and settle down. She asked us how we met and let me tell the story, but my wife added a lot. She asked for additional information that was not in the original 485 submission, so we gave her my step-son's birth certificate (copy) along with the translation, several photos, insurance information, bank statements, and latest income tax forms. Overall everything went well. She made a copy of my wife's EAD card, then handed us a no decision notice, but explained everything appeared in order, she just needed time to review the entire package in detail. I am not sure how much time ahead they have to review these forms and evidence. Regardless, it seemed positive when she went over the fact that we were applying for a conditional GC and we would have to go through the 751 process I a little less than two years. Anyway, we parted in good spirits. Two days later we received the report that my wife was approved.
One other note for those heading to the Detroit office, if you are coming from the North, don't follow the GPS when you get in the city, take 75/375 down to East Jefferson and go over from there. The neighborhoods my GPS took me through were not very nice looking.
All in all a very good experience, nice office, and friendly staff.
