1. We brought full copies of our original files. We brought originals of our licenses, passports, birth certificates, marriage certificate, divorce degrees from prior marriages. We also brought updated pictures since we submitted our file(with dates and who was in them), joint tax return, bank statements, joint health insurance, etc to prove our bona-fide marriage. She check all of our originals against the digital copies she had. She also took everything we brought to prove continuation of our relationship. My husband also brought a copy of his work contract which she took as well.
 
2. She asked about our relationship step by step from when we started dating until the wedding including trips, big events, etc. This kind of led itself as my husband and I had a lot of natural back and forth and ended up sharing dog pictures back and forth with our immigration officer. She did ask specifics about our application which included "is this your first marriage?" (It wasn't for either of us), etc. Then at the end she asked a few of the yes/no questions found on the I485. 
 
She ended the interview by telling us to expect something in the mail within the next few weeks and walked us out. 
 
Hope this is helpful and best of luck to you!

Yes, you will need to file both an I-130 and I-485 which you can do concurrently. They both have their own fees. I also suggest filing I-765 for employment authorization and I-131 for advanced parole with your I-485 if you plan to leave the country before obtaining a green card. The I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status and I-864, Affidavit of Support will also need to be completed with the I-485. This link has great information about all of these forms and their relation to the AOS filing.

Try here but after he has his green card. He's not a legal permanent resident until green card in hand.

As someone who did this last year, and now has the greencard in hand, you can totally do this if he's okay with being bored not working, or being able to leave the US until the AP comes in.
 
I was at the P4 stage of the whole process when Montreal embassy just closed back in March 2020. And came to visit in May, assuming by the time my trip was over (planned for August) it would be open and ready to go. I was wrong. Saw on this forum that people did AOS while and were fine -- I had no idea it was even an option at the time so I did not plan for it. So I stayed and adjusted. I told my work I was done(they kinda knew I was waiting on visa things, so was expecting it), and had my family mail most of my things to me.
 
For me, I had to mail Montreal to withdraw my petition (I never heard anything back though.) And the only thing that came up in the interview was he noticed I had an approved NOA1 and asked what happened, I explained it, and he was good with the reason -- it was the first time he had someone who did it so.
