VERY IMPORTANT: Do not bring cell phones to the building in SF. They will not let you in to the building if your phone has a camera, and there is nowhere to store your phone. We took BART to the building so we had no car to go back to and drop off the phone. I ended up going across the street and stashing the phone under foliage in a planter box so that we could enter the building for our interview. Luckily it was there when we got back. So DO NOT bring a phone no matter what, or you wont be allowed in.
Our interview was at 8:15am, so we were one of the first of the day. We waited for about 2 minutes before being called. The interview lasted for about 10-15 minutes, but our situation is pretty cut and dried since I lived in my wife's country for 2 1/2 years and we dated for a year of that time, plus she had come to the U.S. to visit me before we got engaged. We were asked standard questions about each other's birthdays, how we met, and we also showed some documentation of common residence (I think an invoice for renter's insurance with our names on it). I showed my birth certificate.
After that, we were told we were approved and the man interviewing us crossed out my wife's tourist visa, took the I-94 form from her passport, and also confiscated her advanced parole docs and employment authorization card. We were told to expect the green card in the mail in a month. We are glad that's over with, although I'm sure we'll be back to another annoying bureaucratic process in two years.
