Appointment was at 2pm, and we arrive 5 minutes earlier.
Waited about one and a half hours in the waiting room (Actually they closed at 4pm, but promised to finish interviewing everyone in the room by the day).
Around 3:40pm, we were called by Officer Orlando.
The interview went very smooth. It lasted less than 20 minutes. No difficult questions. No documents were taken.
After we took the vow, Officer Orlando introduced himself and explained his process.
First he checked our identity, citizenship, and current job/status. We were asked to present our passports, birth certificates, marriage certificate, and my spouse's naturalization certificate.
Then we presented our materials (joint residency/joint finances/joint ownership, photos, records for joint trips). He appreciated that our materials were very organized, which made easy for him to scan and make decision. He didn't ask anything about our relationship, maybe because he thought our evidence speaks to itself.
In the end, he went over the questions on I-485 with me.
And that 's basically it. He gave us a paper and told us that decision couldn't be make on the spot (it's a rule). What we need to do is wait. He'll check my I-693 and run background check before giving the decision. He thoroughly explained the next steps and told us not to worry. Also he reminded us to file I-751 one month before the temporary green card expires.
We then thanked him and left. It ended almost sharply 4pm, guess he really wanted to get out of work for the day.
