Glad to report back to this thread that I had my interview on the 14th, and my case was approved right away! Here's a detailed breakdown:
-The notice said arrive 15 min prior, but we were worried about the security check line so just entered the building a few minutes before. No one said anything. 
-No one was allowed in the building without a mask on, only 4 people were allowed in the elevator at the time, plenty of hand sanitizers, 6 ft distancing for people on a line, and waiting room had a few pair of chairs separated from each other by good distance. 
-We waited about 1.5 hr, there did not seem to be much order in who gets called first because people with both lower and higher waiting number than us got called in before us. 
-Once we got called in, interview itself was very fast; probably less than 10 minutes. The interviewer asked to see our passport and marriage certificate first then asked us to take an oath, then again asked for "any joint document we want to present". We gave him our 2019 joint tax return (just the receipt), joint checking acct statements, and my medical exam. We also showed him our photo album which he looked over and took three random photos.
-The interviewer asked my husband (USC): date and place of my birth, our current address and when we moved in there, if anyone else living with us, and the last date I traveled out of the country <- this last one was a curve ball and my husband was off by an entire year... but the interviewer did not seem to care too much about it.
-The interviewer asked me: date and place of husband's birth, marriage date, if either of us have been married before (we have not), and a bunch of questions from I-485 which he flew through. 
-At the end he gave us a slip that says our result is pending, but he said he will approve our case before we even leave the building... and that's what he did. Case status was updated to "new card being produced" within the hour and couple days later it showed up as "Case approved". 
 
Hope that was helpful for anyone waiting for the interview, I got so much help from this thread since I filed last year. Good luck for all of us!

Husband and I had his interview yesterday at the Baltimore Office
 
super organized there, checked in with ease. Waited about 45-an hour before his name was called. He told us he wasn’t concerned about the bonafides of our relationship as we had presented great evidence. Asked my husband the biographical information on the form then the officer chose some questions from the YES/NO section. Asked me 1 question and didn’t want any other evidence as he already made his decision for approval. 
 
left our appointment at 12:45 and at 4:00 his card was in production!

GC in hand - exactly a week after the interview!

Rescheduled interview date is sept. 14!! Yay!! The notice went to our manhattan address and We’ve been staying with our in laws in upstate so had to bug our lawyer to dig up the copy from their mail room. I’m shocked how soon the interview date is, was expecting at least October!

Received the interview letter today, it's on Sept 23rd!!

Yay! My letter arrived today - interview September 29th. 

Great news!
Hopefully they expedite the interviews to schedule some of us too.... September 5th would be a year waiting for interview to be scheduled.

Received our interview letter!  Our original was schedule the day USCIS shut down. Now it is on Sept. 16! Wooh! 

Interview rescheduled yesterday! Don’t know the new date yet, it was originally 04/09. Wonder how far out it’s going to be, I think it’s usually about 2 mo later from the schedule notice. My EAD expires in dec so I was about to request extension... phew!

Hi guys , we just got back from our AOS marriage based interview at the LA office. We arrived at 9 but checked in at 10:15 for our 10:30 interview and didn’t get called in until after 1 pm! Today was the first day of interviews at this center, according to the officer we got. My spouse and I went in one at time with the officer because that was how they were doing things for everyone at the moment. We got approved after about 15 mins for each of us. Questions she asked:
 
When did we meet.
How did we meet.
When he proposed.
How many times I went to visit him in his country. 
Does he get along with my ex. 
When and where we got married. 
How many people lived in our house.
Do our parents approved. 
Where we worked. What we did for work. 
Very basic stuff we should all know. 
 
Thanks for everyone’s support, and good luck to everyone on their journey.

FINALLY! Baltimore is reopening! Got our rescheduled interview. Original interview was day 1 of the shut down :( Havent recieved exact date yet, waiting for the mailed letter. But so happy it is reopening for interviews. My husbands EAD are to expire in November!

Just got approved my AOS last Friday! 
it took a year and was rough road but I got it! 
 
I had my interview last December but got a NOID letter in March. Hired a lawyer ( he did an amazing job and so helpful!) and sent our waiver package in early June. A month later USCIS approved my case! 
 
This COVID 19 makes everything difficult and confusing but I hope you guys will hear good news soon and wish you the best! 

We just got our interview rescheduled today ! It was originally for 3/31. Los Angeles field office.

I hope we all get through this pandemic together unscathed.Stay safe!
 
While updating my profile, I thought I should share this with you guys who are yet to have your interview.
NOTE: Your interview starts from moment the I.O welcomes you from the entrance of the hallway NOT when you all get to his/her office. Your responses and your body language to the small talk after " Good morning/afternoon" in the hallway and his/her  quick impression of you both as a couple is a build-up to what he/she is going to ask from both of you as soon as you sit down.They are Psychologists with years of experience!
Good luck everyone!
