Pretty uneventful. We waited in the resident line, got to the officer and once she finished the conversation she was having with the guard who brought her a Coke, she barely looked at us. She had a thick Caribbean accent, so when she started asking questions while still staring at the screen, I (USC) went ahead and answered because we weren't sure who she was talking to and I could tell my husband didn't quite understand her. This didn't seem to be a problem. Then I asked her about the typo in my middle name on the immigrant data summary sheet, and told her that I had an email from the embassy saying it was fine, but she ignored the e-mail and insisted on going over the whole sheet to make sure everything else was okay. Then she asked me if I though my husband's green card would get to my house with the typo in my middle name. I said yes, because the address was correct. It remains a mystery why she couldn't just correct the typo.
After that stage, a man came to take him to the little room nearby and he nicely told me to wait outside because "there just isn't enough room in there." After about 20 minutes, my husband came out. The only reason it took so long was because there were a lot of people in there. He said the guys were nice; they even joked with him about not shaving off his beard before traveling ("Didn't your wife tell you to shave that off?"). Welcome to the United States, etc.
