Interviewed on 3/8/18 with wife who entered on K1. Arrived at 9AM for 9:30AM appointment. Went through security. No issues with keeping cell phones. Went to 2nd floor, checked in with interview notice. IO called us in at 9:20. She verified our IDs, took picture and fingerprint of wife, then confirmed her name and address. Then pretty much went through most of the Yes/No questions from the I-485 application. While she was doing that, I organized the supporting documents to present to her (apt lease with our names, joint bank account, health and dental insurance cards, proof of wife as beneficiary on my 401k and life insurance, photos, proof of my wife’s pregnancy). After my wife answered no to all the questions, I gave her the documents. We then made some small talk but she didn’t really ask questions about our wedding or living situation. She then said she was going to order my wife’s green card ( conditional for 2 years as we are newlyweds) and she said it would arrive in 7-10 days. I informed her that we are planning to travel out of the country in a week and I showed her proof of travel. So she had us go downstairs, she spoke with an officer down there and after a few minutes she stamped my wife’s passport with I-551, good for 90 days. Overall, extremely pleasant and smooth experience. IO was super friendly as was the entire staff. If you are a legit married couple and you have your documents in order there should be absolutely nothing to be worries or stressed about. The only tip I would have is to get there early because parking can be tight. The lot is big but that morning there was a naturalization ceremony so there was only one spot left.
