We are APPROVED!!!
Here is how it all went down!
We arrived @ the Federal Building @ 2pm. We went through security and hubby had to take off his shoes (funny I sailed through with no problems). The security guard was this REALLY cool older Jamaican man, he started flirting with me while they were giving hubby the once over. Once that was finished, hubby and him started joking (I was REALLY at ease). We checked in on the eighth floor, the lady behind the desk was not having a good day.
The room was very unwelcoming and had a few couples were already waiting, it seemed as though everyone had a lawyers! We were seated and waiting by 2.20pm. About 10mins passed and a lady emerged from an interview crying hysterically so you know I was IMMEDIATELY on edge.
We were called in @ 3.05 by an older Indian fellow (I have no idea what his name is).
He swore us in and got right down to business.
He asked for my for: BC, passport
He asked hubby for: BC, passport, driver's license (weird, because I though he asked for SO much citizen proof).

Down to the questions:
Me (Krys)
How did you meet?
When did you first meet in person?
When we started dating?
What is hubby's take home salary?
What are our mthly expenses?
How did you know he was the one?
Hubby's questions:
Are you guys going to have a traditional ceremony? When?
Is she currently working?
Has she ever worked?
Back to me: all the yes/no question on the I-485
That's it! He told us to go back to the waiting room he would be with us in a minute.
10mins passed, he called my name and says: I've approved your application as of today, your GC will be mailed to you in 1 month, but in the mean time I've stamped your passport, you can travel as you please it is like your GC (I already knew this).
I had the weirdest reaction: I started laughing hysterically.
All-and-all, a great experience, we were done in 5mins.
No more USCIS for 21 mths
Oh yeah, he told my husband about removing conditions in 2yrs.. I tuned him out because thanks to VJ, I already know this.
