So today I had my AOS I485 marriage based interview . I took my documents along with my husband to the orlando office. He called my number , we stood up , he told my husband to stay seated as he didn’t need him! He then asked me to swear oath . He then went thru questions like “am I a terrorist?” “Have I been divorced” etc for about 5-7 mins, he took my fingerprints , checked my k1 visa passport for the entry stamp, I gave him some photos and our house deed , bank statement and the insurance we have , he said I’ll make my decision very quick , he said check online but then went on to tell me about how to keep your card with you at all times etc, but I’m so confused is it a yes or a no. He asked zero marriage questions apart from am I still married to the same person. My poor husband took a whole day off to be there and was told to wait outside :-( I felt so bad

Sounds like an approval coming your way........The fact that your husband was not grilled is a positive thing......

I would not worry

they do not need your husband when you have a joint house deed and all you provided

he already had the proof of marriage with the applications

and,  as for husband being there,   it was seen and acknowledged.

these type of questions were also on the interview for my husband's naturalization and when the paper came for the oath ceremony,   they are on the reverse side to be answered in the court day of the oath 

questions like "have you been arrested since interview?"

Have you joined a terrorist group?

your evidence sounds "good to go"

Yes, you are good to go. We never had an interview for either AOS or I-751. For the Citizenship interview, my husband was asked 'in passing'....is that your husband? My spouse said yes..and that was it. I was not invited to the Citizenship interview either....

...I was kind of disappointed actually. I like to interact with Immigration Officers....:-( Oh Well....
