We arrived 15 minutes early for the interview. Our name was called for the interview 5 minutes early. We interviewed with officer Garcia, who was very nice and friendly.
He started off by explaining he didn't have a paper copy of our I-485 and it was all on the computer so bear with him while he tried to find certain things. He asked for the interview letter, both of our passports, and any other IDs we had. He asked my wife (the beneficiary) her name and date of birth, current address, when we got married, when she arrived in the US. He asked to see our marriage certificate. He asked my wife a bunch of the questions from the I-485 (have you sold illegal drugs, engaged in prostitution, planned terrorist activities against the US, lied to obtain a visa, etc.). He asked her if she was currently working. He asked for our "love story" which he allowed me to answer instead of my wife.
He said he doesn't expect us to have too much proof of marriage since its a relatively new marriage and said we had already established its a real relationship during the K-1 visa phase. He asked if we had anything else we wanted to show him. I explained we had an updated I-864 but not much had changed with my work since the last time we filed it. He said he didn't need to see it because my income was high enough. I said I had some proof of relationship stuff (joint lease, joint account, photos, etc.) which he also said he didn't need to see because we had proved our relationship in the K-1 phase. I laughed and said I guess I don't have anything else then.
He told us my wife was approved and told us to expect the green card in a week or two. We had a brief conversation on the way out about football and that was it. The interview last about 15 minutes and a good amount of it was silence while he looked things up on the computer. I stopped in the bathroom on the way out and my wife said the officer came running out because he forgot to have her sign something. She signed and that was it.
