Hi everyone!
 
Just a quick update after my interview today.
 
We had an appointment at 8:25 at the San Francisco office. We arrived there at 7:35, they checked our IDs and invitation letter and let us in right away (There was a very short line outside). Then we went to a window to show our invitation to the receptionist (I think?) and she put a letter on it. And then we just waited in the hall before we were called (at about 8:30). 
 
The officer asked for our passports and IDs. Then she asked my name, if I had different names, address. Then she asked my husband if he knew my birthday, his birthday, my parents' names (asked me if he pronounced them right haha). Then we described briefly about how we met and reconnected. If we knew each other's families. Then she asked me all the questions from the form. 
 
After that she asked for any new documents (we gave her insurance, taxes, lease, new pictures (she scanned the album really quick), tickets from out trips, back accounts info). She didn't really check anything of those, just put all the papers in the main folder with our case.
 
Then she also asked if my husband is getting a law degree because all our documents were very organized. 
 
That's pretty it! It took us about 10-15 minutes! Very easy, no stress, the decision was already made I guess so she didn't look really involved. She said to wait for the status update and it was updated in about 30 minutes at the website (new card is being produced).
 
Good luck to everyone still waiting, it's a tough ride but you'll be there too soon!! Don't give up and don't stress out when you go there.

Did an evaluation eventually. Took a week, $140 and they accepted copies of my diploma (I have my apostilled though). The company is called FIS.
Maybe it will help someone.

I submitted my Cambridge Proficiency Certificate. I don't actually think you need it as you are from an English-Speaking country. Maybe your English classes from high school if you had any would work?
