This is probably a really dumb set of questions...but...

...I have spent so much time in the other forums...just leading up to our foreign consulate interview, and am just now beginning to grasp what to do once my fiance arrives...I was wondering, if someone could help me with a few basics I would like to understand to go forward with confidence....

First:

...If we file our EAD and AOS together, do they get approved separately?

...as in, will she likely get her EAD and be able to work while we wait for the AOS to finalize?

Second:

...What exactly does a biometrics entail? Is it just processing? fingerprints and such? or is it interview?

...Is there a separate biometric for EAD and AOS?

Third:

...When we have the AOS interview, we both go right? Thats when they confirm we have been legitimately married and all that? And then her greencard is good for 2 years right?...until she reaplies for a lift on that?

Finally:

...Assuming I got the above right...once she gets the first greencard, how long does it usually take for the next step...the more permanent residency to go through? I'm assuming under 2 years since the first runs out in that time....

I have been browsing through the timelines, and info here, and I 'THINK' I have a grasp, but if anyone could clarify very simply these questions, I would be very grateful...and ready to join you with the finer details and experience of our own case as it unrolls! THANKS SO MUCH!

First:

They get approved seperatly usualy EAD is first.

Yes can work once EAD is approved befor AOS.

Second:

...What exactly does a biometrics entail? Is it just processing? fingerprints and such? or is it interview?

...Is there a separate biometric for EAD and AOS?

Fingerprints and such.

NO separate.

Third:

...When we have the AOS interview, we both go right? Thats when they confirm we have been legitimately married and all that? And then her greencard is good for 2 years right?...until she reaplies for a lift on that?

Both go.

Finally:

...Assuming I got the above right...once she gets the first greencard, how long does it usually take for the next step...the more permanent residency to go through? I'm assuming under 2 years since the first runs out in that time....

First:

...If we file our EAD and AOS together, do they get approved separately?

...as in, will she likely get her EAD and be able to work while we wait for the OS to finalize?

...Yes, you will need to file EAD I-765 and AOS I-485 together, and they will get processed separately and once her EAD approved (usually within 90 days) she can legally work.

Second:

...What exactly does a biometrics entail? Is it just processing? fingerprints and such? or is it interview?

...Is there a separate biometric for EAD and A'S?

... Biometerics is a fingerprinting. EAD and AOS biometrics are separate, but they usually schedule it together. EAD is for one finger, and AOS is for all 10 fingers.

Third:

...When we have the AOS interview, we both go right? Thats when they confirm we have been legitimately married and all that? And then her greencard is good for 2 years right?...until she reaplies for a lift on that?

...For the AOS interview, you will go together. If approved and if you haven't been married for more than 2 years she will get conditional green card which is good for 2 years.

...Assuming I got the above right...once she gets the first greencard, how long does it usually take for the next step...the more permanent residency to go through? I'm assuming under 2 years since the first runs out in that time

...Next step usually takes 8-16 months so she gen get her permanent resident.
