We had to wait about one hour. The restrooms are in the hallway and so is the water fountain; you are not supposed to take any food or drinks into the waiting area. We felt a bit nervous when we'd had to go the the restrooms or drink something as we could be called in anytime.
The interview lasted about an hour. The officer that interviewed us seemed very stern but turned out to be kind. He asked some questions and we had to show our IDs. We did not have to show anything out of the large pile of extra evidence we brought in. He leafed through the file and asked some more. Wrote a few things down. He appreciated the fact that I had been forthcoming with information in my application as well as in earlier interviews (for my B-2 visa and at the border). He explained some more about the Green Card process and removal of conditions, and citizenship. He said he would approve me and I'd receive news within 2 weeks. The next day I received the notification that a new card was being produced 
Near the end of the interview my husband asked what the officer thought of the file that I had put together; he said it was definitely above average and better than the ones many professional lawyers bring in. We are glad we didn't hire a lawyer. We had heard beforehand you really need one but we decided to do it all ourselves and everything went fine. All it takes is time and reading everything over carefully. And of course: don't forget to sign!
