Congratulations!  I think we saw you as you guys were leaving.  Our interview was 8:50 AM.  We were approved as well!  Glory to God!  Our AOS timeline is almost exactly like yours.  We applied at the end of December and were extremely surprised by how quickly we were scheduled for our interview.  Likely some of the quickness is due to being in Spokane.  Much different from our K-1 experience when it took us 5 months to get our case number.  For those still waiting, just hang in there.  Sometimes things are easy and sometimes they are a little rougher.

The interview went smooth, the officer was very nice. My photo and index fingerprints were taken. We were asked to stand up, raised our right hands and swear under oath that all our answers will be true. At first he asked about the details we put in the i-485 forms and the “have you ever been”
 
then he asked these questions: 
 
How did you meet?
When and where did you meet?
When did you decide to get married?
How did the proposal go?
What does your parents think about the match?
When and where did the wedding take place?
Who attended the wedding?
What did you do after the wedding?
What do you do together?
What are your future plans together?
Our timeline is 3 months plus.

Well, I think we are back on track. We are now on our third NOA2 approving our petition. We received our first NOA2 on November 17, 2017. I called the USCIS toward the end of January 2018. We then received our second NOA2 on February 1st. We then received an email on February 14th stating that the Department of State sent our case back to the USCIS for review. My guess is that the USCIS inadvertently sent our case to the NVC without notating that it had been approved. We played the waiting game again and received another email on March 28th stating that the USCIS had reopened our case. Just this morning (April 5) we received an email stating that our petition had been approved. We are hopeful that things will go much smoother from here on out.
