Our appointment was for 10:30am, and we arrived thirty minutes ahead of time. No cell phones are allowed in the building, so we left those in our vehicle.
When you walk in, you will immediately see a security station to your right, where you must remove your shoes, belt and toss all exterior items (paperwork, wallets, etc) into bins for them to scan. They check your passports as ID, check the appointment letter and sent you through a quick body scan.
We were told to bring our appointment letter to window 9 so that they would note our arrival. We did so, and were told to listen for our name to be called. After sitting for maybe about ten minutes, I (non-US citizen) was called by my first and middle name. We followed the interviewer through a heavy wooden door and down the hallway to his office. He told us to have a seat, asked for my passport and for both of our driver's licenses.
Next, he opened up my big alien file, and I could see that both my K1 petition and the information I sent in for AOS were in it. He asked how my husband and I met, and we told him we met via World of Warcraft. He proceeded to ask my husband where he worked, where he learned his trade. He then verified all of the information from within my file, asked me all of the usual security questions (Do you plan to overthrow the gov't, etc), and asked when we married. Asked to see our original birthday certificates and our original marriage certificate.
At this point, he requested any documents I may have gathered to show us as a joint couple. I asked if he wanted originals or copies, he said copies. He went through the packet, asking questions about things that stood out, etc, then added it to the back of my file.
He said that everything in our file looked fine, but that he had to conduct further background checks, so we'd probably hear his decision within about two weeks, either by a mailing regarding card production, or by receiving the green card itself. He explained that, if I did receive a green card, it would only be conditional, and I would have to remove conditions ninety days prior to it expiring in two years.
All in all, very quick and easy, just disappointing that there was no set decision at the end, nor was there a stamp placed in my passport. He kept my I-94 (removed it from my passport) and made copies of our driver's licenses. He did not ask to see my AP or EAD.
