Everything went way easier than expected. He didn't ask for all of the things that I had brought with me, like my divorces from prior marriages or proof of joint accts etc. He only needed our marriage license. Asked us about our story, and was out of there in less than 30 mins. One piece of advice is get there early enough to find parking. There is no parking area for USCIS or the Federal Building except for the employees. We asked a guard who told us to go to Horton Plaza. It's a nice mall next to the Westin Plaza Hotel which is on the East end of the Fed Bldg. You get a ticket when you enter the parking garage but take the ticket into the mall and they have a machine that will give you 3 hrs of free validation for the parking. It was enough time for us to have lunch in the mall, go to the interview and return without going over the 3 hrs. If you do go over, be prepared to pay $2/15mins. There are other parking garages like this one but they don't give you 3 hrs free, you just pay $2/15mins up to a max of $28/day. Ouch. Knowing about Horton Plaza is great inside information, but remember to give yourself time to park, get the ticket validated and walk to where the interview is. It was a nice day, we went to Coronado island and looked around a bit then made it home before traffic got bad.
