Ok so we had our AOS interview today
Arrived about twenty minutes before our interview was scheduled and waited to be called, about 5 minutes after our scheduled time we were called in for our interview and escorted to the room.
Out interviewer introduced himself and asked if we had a lawyer, we didn’t; he then asked us to raise our right hands and swear under oath that what we said was true, and took my fingerprints and picture,
First thing he said was we had shots ourselves in the foot two times - not a promising start, he then spent 5/10 minutes talking about intent - we married Oct 2016, I went back home to the UK and came back to the USA in June 2017 for 10 days - as it happens I didn’t go back as my husband asked me to stay and do AOS.
Anyhow after explaining that people used to be deported for that kind of thing he said something like, we can work with that. He then asked me a few questions from our I-485 he confirmed the first line of our address with my husband, asked me my phone number and then asked me to confirm the zip code the rest was just the yes no questions asked in the paperwork, he stamped a few pages and asked me if I had a medical, and I handed that to him and he added it to the file and then asked me to sign the AOS document.
He then said, the second time you shot yourself in the foot was because, originally we had started the CR1 visa and that he wouldn’t be able to sign off the paperwork today as he needed the I-130 to complete the paperwork which was requested from the NVC in October 2017 and November of 2018
he went on to explain that it had to be requested three times before it could be considered lost and our options were
A, it turned up - NVC has it recorded as being sent.
B, it is reported as lost.
C, we would be asked to come back to
fill out another I-130, our original receipt number and approval would be attached to this.
He then asked if we had any other documents we wanted to add to the file that proved co habitation - we provided up to date utility bills, membership of clubs together, medical cards and life insurance documents.
We had a massive file with cards and photos but he didn’t ask to see them.
He asked us for our ID’s to check both had the same address on them and said he couldn’t see any reason to deny us but he couldn’t approve us because of the missing paperwork.
He advised us to wait 8 weeks but essentially our part was complete and we could do nothing at this point as we are waiting for the I-130 to arrive to be attached to our file and if we hadn’t heard anything or I hadn’t received my green card to make an appointment to check the status. 
So all in all not a bad interview.
Update.
Received the card is being produced 02/11/2019 and card is mailed 02/14/2019.
