Our appointment was at 9:30. We arrived at 9. The security guard was the same one from when we went for the biometrics. He is really nice, and tells you how easy it will be, and not to worry. He instructed us to put the interview letter in a slot on the side of the wall.
We were called back in less than 5 minutes. The officer swore us in, and then asked for my husband's passport, EAD, State ID, and my driver's license. He was professional and pleasant. He asked my husband to verify his name and how it is spelled, and asked him what were the names of his parents. He then asked him if he had ever been through deportation from the US before, was ever part of a terrorist organization, or had ever been arrested. He then verified that our address and phone number were still the same as what they had on record for us.
He handed him the paper, that he already had pre-printed up with the current date, that said he was approved for permanent residency. He then explained about the removal conditions 90 days before his green card expires. He had us sign a copy of that same letter for their records, and said his green card would arrive in the mail in about 10 days.
That was it! It only took about 5 minutes. He did not ask any other questions at all. He did not ask for any of the documents we prepared and brought with us. He did not ask to see any evidence or the photos we brought. Nada. It was a breeze, like the security guard said it would be. The security guard congratulated us, and high-fived us on the way out, wishing us luck.
We had to spend too much on gas to make the 5 hour trip each way, and on a hotel in Jacksonville for the night. It was worth the extra expense though.
We walked out of there, and were back in the car by 9:20, 10 minutes before our appointment was even scheduled to have taken place  It left me happy, and wondering why I had been so nervous about it to begin with.
