My US Citizen husband and I went to the Fairfax (Washington DC) office yesterday for our AOS interview. We were let into the building exactly 15 minutes before our interview time, got through security and made our way up the elevator to the 2nd floor. There we waited for about 20-30 minutes in a bright but sparsely decorated waiting room, which had chairs spaced 6 feet apart for social distancing - but there were a few pairs of chairs close together for couples like us!
A lady called my name, and we were asked to follow her to her office for the interview. After making an oath to tell the truth, the first thing we did was go through the AOS application form and confirm/update information. She made note of our address change and my current employment, and then I was asked to sign to make sure I approved all the changes. She also went over many of the Yes/No questions in the form, and once that was done, she asked if we had further documentation we wanted to present. My husband had an updated Affidavit of Support based on his employment (which changed last year) with lots of financial evidence, and we also presented our evidence for the relationship, including plenty of joint statements and pictures. She asked me how we had met, so I briefly told her the whole timeline, from how we met until the time my husband proposed. She also asked briefly about our wedding, but didn't press for details. Overall I was pleasantly surprised at how few questions we got. The whole thing took no more than 15 or 20 minutes and then we were done! She told us that we would be informed in the mail if more documentation was required, although she doubted it, and then escorted us back to the exit.
At the end of the work day, when we checked the case status online, it had already changed to 'new card being produced'!
