We entered the building about 35 minutes prior to our appointment time to ensure that we got through security and checked in at reception. You wait upstairs until they call your name (not number) and walk through to the offices at the back. We were waiting about 45/60 minutes until we were called. The officer was very nice (I didn't catch his name but he had a slight speech impediment). He asked us our names, for our identification and then took my fingerprints and a photograph. He asked me about 80% of the questions from the I-485 general inadmissibility section. He asked if I had ever had a job, what I was doing in my waiting period and what plans we had for the future. He asked us if we had any pets, any children and any plans for this year. He asked about our living situation so I gave him a letter from our roommate stating our situation. I asked him repeatedly if he needed any other documents, or to look at my originals but he said no, that everything was in order. He didn't even look at our wedding photos.
Although I had prepared a bunch of evidence, it wasn't required. I would still take it all if I had to do it again. Better to be safe than sorry.
He approved us on the spot and told me that I should get my Green Card in 3 weeks. It actually took 7 days. It just felt like a really friendly chat with a person and he was really nice.
