We had our interview at 10:30 am and were approved six hours later. We arrived at 10:07 am. As we entered the building, we had to walk through the security checkpoint and check in at the front desk. We were called in at 10:45 by a very pleasant officer who smiled the entire time he was interviewing us and who made jokes and movie references constantly. The entire interview was extremely relaxed and seemed more like us talking. He first took a picture of my husband (I'm the US citizen) and took fingerprints to verify that he was who he said he was. He laughed about my husband not having any accent despite being from Germany and generally made it a very comfortable atmosphere. He asked me to state my husband's full name and for my husband to state mine and then asked me to tell him our address. He then went through the I-485 yes or no questions and changed the "List your present or past membership in or affiliation with every organization, association, fund, foundation, party, club, society,or similar group in the United States or in other places since your 16th birthday." answer from no to yes since he's currently part of our local fire department. He then asked to see the K-1 Visa, my original birth certificate, our marriage certificate and any proof of combined leases. He kept our car insurance information, joint phone plan, joint bank account statement, and joint gym membership. He looked through our wedding photos and asked who was in them. Besides that, he only asked around four actual questions that weren't included in the forms. "How did you meet? When did you first meet in person and where? Who proposed and how? Where did you get married and when?" Those questions were brought up in conversation and flowed very well. It was a great experience and at the end the officer told us about removal of conditions and when to do it, how a conditional green card works, and that we would likely get a response within two weeks. He said that it looked like everything was heading in the right direction and that he just had to check a couple things on our case. We did not receive an on the spot approval but six hours later our online status updated to "New Card Is Being Produced." The interview lasted around 30 minutes. All in all, the officers at the Detroit Field Office were extremely professional and pleasant. We even talked a couple minutes with the security guards on the way out and ended up leaving while laughing. :D
