So glad to hear everything went well for you!! You posted on my thread a few weeks back where I asked about doing this very same thing (thank you again for your advice) - my wife and I just sent our AOS packet off yesterday! Hopefully in around a year we'll be able to share the same good news.
 
Congratulations again!

First and foremost I want to thank all the members of this forum for their support and information. I literally wouldn't be here if it weren't for your guidance.
 
I originally had a petition for k1. After receiving my NOA2, I was here on vacation when the pandemic got worse and so I posted on this forum for advice. The advice? Withdraw your k1, marry now and fie for adjustment. It took some time, but I did it.
 
We married in May, filed in Juy, noa1 in August and interview today!
 
I was nervous as heck. I was expecting the officer to ask me all about my k1 and why we abandoned it and why I had overstayed my ESTA. I made myself worry for no reason.
 
We arrived to the Field Office, Yakima, WA, 15 minutes early as per our notice. We checked in and the security guards were very sweet and telling us not to worry. My husband was as calm as a cucumber. I brought some photos, new updated info like my job payslips, adoption papers for our dog and our joint accounts as well as all government issued documentation I had and also a copy of my birth cert and passports (basically everything asked for on the notice)
 
We started by getting sworn in. The officer made small talk and was very appreciative of our photos. He also said "judging just this and you guys in front of me, we're not going to have any issues, i'll just need to ask some questions anyway"
 
We then went through our packet, again, small talk along the way and some jokes. When he asked if I had ever violated a visa I explained I overstayed my ESTA by a few weeks while we prepared things for the AOS and he just said "Oh that's fine. With covid we understand that, its not a problem". He then asked if we were filing from k1 or adjustment and I said we had the k1 and withdrew because of..and before I finished he just said "Oh right I see you put that there, that's fine!". 
Next he went through the i944 and I just updated my work info and he asked if we had any other evidence we wanted to add so we gave him our dog's adoption papers (lol) and the bank accounts we had
 
Next was just the questions which felt more like a conversation so kudos to the officer for making us relaxed. He asked
1. When did you meet?
2. Did you start dating immediately or was it gradual?
3. Did you go on any trips? (we had shown him pics from some summer trips)
4. Where did you get married? Who attended?
5. Did you go on a honeymoon?
6. Had my husband met my family?
7. What qualities in each other did we like?
and my favourite question
Who does most of the cooking?
 
He then told us that was all he needed, and if we had any questions and proceeded to explain that this would be a 2 year GC. We'd get an update in the mail (the usual).
 
Again, thank you to everyone on this community. Your guidance helped me through the initial k1 filing, eventual withdrawal and AOS!!
 

You really don’t need to worry about intent. CBP officers at the airports and borders have one job: stop anyone whose intentions are not genuine from entering the USA. That’s it. If she was admitted successfully then no intent was found or even suspected. Plans change. Now more than ever. What you are doing is perfectly legal and is exactly the kind of situation that the adjustment process was designed for.
