Process of interview:
8:10 A.M. We arrived at the Civic Center Plaza
[1 min: through the security check get up to 2nd floor
1 min: place our paper in the tray as assigned.(there were approx. 10 waiting)
3 min wait: we sat down and was about to eat our morning snack and was called
8:15 A.M. Our interview officer (Rosalina Samante) called T's name. She brought us to her office and had the interview.
Q's asked to T:
1. Everything on the I-485 form.
2. S's birthday.

10. New/updated copy of the I-693.
11. Photocopied both our DL and T's I-20.
12. T's I-94.
8:30 A.M. Done.
The IO was quick, professional, and all business throughout the whole process. Overall experience was quick and to the point, time weren't wasted.
Word of advice:
1. Do not mistaken a white building Civic Center Tower Plaza with the actual Civic Center Plaza (missing the Tower) and parked there instead [oh well it's public parking, so it's ok : P] and had to run across the street to the actual Federal Building Civic Center Plaza. (LOL!)Just FYI the actual Civic Center Plaza is a red-brown brick colored building w/ a big blue 34 Federal Building sign in the front of the entrance.
2. Leave your cell phones in your car, 'cause they'll ask you to run back to your car and leave it there and back to the entrance. [didn't happen to us, but I read somebody's comment about bringing cell phones] save the trouble in case they ask you to put it back in your car.
