Comments : The interview was scheduled at 12:05 P.M.
My husband and I got there about 20 minutes before, went through a quick security check(similar to the one at the airport), we went to the reception desk and received a number. We took an elevator to a second floor. The man there directed us to the seats. After waiting for about 30 minutes we were called in by the officer.
The whole interview wasn't as tough as many could imagine. It took about 30 minutes, half of that time was the officer typing things down on the computer.
The officer asked a few questions back and forth between me and my husband.
Questions to my husband:
1. When was wife born?
2. "Is that your signature, sir?" (while pointing on mine- wife's- signature at the end of I-485 form
3. Have you met your wife's family?
4. Have you visited her in Poland?
5. Wife's mother's name?
6. How did we meet?
Questions to me:
1. Where was your husband born?
2. All the security questions from AOS form
- I overstayed at one visit three weeks so I explained the circumstances
- I also was denied visitors visa 3 times and I explained the circumstances
P.S. none of this was the issue
3. Spell my husband's name?
4. Husband's parents' names?
5.Asked for my husband's passport to confirm he came to Poland to visit me.
Honestly it was simple and quick, very friendly and not at all stressful.
Later the officer asked if we brought any additional evidence. I handed him our joint health insurance, joint Amazon Prime Account, proof of being an authorized credit card user and a few(about 15) photos from our wedding, family reunion and selfies together, as well as most recent screenshots from our calls and texts
The IO just stuck his hand out to me while saying: "Congratulations", informed me that my case was recommended for approval and when and how to apply for Renewal of Green Card.
side note: on the Notice of Interview Results that I received at the end there was another applicant's name put in by mistake and there was correct Anumber (mine) but it didn't cause any problems. I got the approval notice in the mail 4 days later.

Our interview went well and it was easy. The agent was very polite and asked us many routine questions about our demographics including parents and jobs and other information that we entered into the application. I added my new job offer and my husband showed proof of being a USC. I showed photos of my religious wedding (not available at the time of the application), and the agent only asked us one question about our relationship: "when and where did you meet?".
My husband and I prepared for this interview as I've heard that questions can be intimidating and excessive, but we had a very good experience. My case was approved next day and one week later I received my green card by mail.

Arrival:
So, to start with, traffic was slightly bad so I'd recommend to prepare for the worse.
Parking spaces were not much better, as they were very limited at the USCIS field office...
Before entering:
To avoid the possible hassle, we left our phones in the car, but later we did notice some people whom had brought their phones but it was switched off.
We brought a big business-style messenger bag containing all our documents and our accordion folder.
Security:
We actually arrived one hour early, but we were able to get through the airport-style security smoothly and reached the reception/waiting area.
Reception/Appointment:
We had to wait another 20 minutes before queing to get our number from the receptionist (they only give out your number if your interview appointment is within 30minutes).
We didn't queue for too long, perhaps 10 minutes?
The receptionist requested for our I 797c document (appointment details) and my ID (passport).
He handed us our number, and instructed us to go to the second floor.
We decided to take the stairs, by the time we sat down, I remember glancing at the wall clock, 9.43...
2nd floor:
The room was separated into two sections, ceremony, and appointment/interviews.
We noticed a lot of the people that were there for their interview seemed to have a lawyer or interpreter present.
It was about 10 to 20 minutes, before our name was called out.
Interview:
Our number was called out.
We followed the consular to a private office room. After exchanging friendly polite "how are you" stuff, we had to stand up and swear to the "tell the truth, the whole truth blah blah" oath.
Afterwards he told us how he was going to process the interview.
He said he was going to take in turns in asking questions, to confirm answers on the applications we sent. He also asked us questions about each other.
For e.g. what's your spouse's name, how many times have they married, where were they born, and etc.
They then asked us both about very standard routine type questions, that I expected them to ask. Like, when did we get married. How did we get married. Etc. Etc.
They requested for the I 797c document, proof of our marriage being genuine, my ID, my spouse's ID, photos, and etc.
We felt like the interview went smoothly.
Unfortunately they didn't tell us if we were accepted, but informed us that they will go through our application asap and will be notified within a month and also that they will contact us directly if they need anything.
We also handed documents that were listed on the checklist, they said our original application had everything needed, but they took it from us regardless just in case.
My spouse really clicked with the consular, I'm very grateful that I had such a charismatic social partner by my side...

This field office has mixed reviews but me and my husband honestly had a decent experience. I actually gave it 4 instead of 5 only because of the wait time which I imagine is normal. First, you will go through airport style security. Heads up the guards are not very friendly not necessarily rude or anything like that though. Our appointment was at 2:00 PM and we arrived at 1:15 PM. The lady told us we were to early and to come back at 1:30 PM so we just stood around in the waiting area right by check in (that waiting area was slam packed). Once we checked in we were told to go to the third level. There was a pretty good sized waiting area here as well but there were no where near as many people waiting not even half of what was downstairs. We were there for a marriage based conditional greencard and I believe this was specifically for marriage based and family based visas. This is where the long wait came in. They kept calling ticket numbers that were before and after ours which made me nervous but then 45 minutes later we finally got called. Our officer was very nice and our interview was pretty easy and straightforward. He told us he had approved us and to expect his greencard soon. We were walking out the door right around 3:00 PM.
Questions that were asked....
-How did y'all meet?
-When was the first time my husband came over?
-What other dates did he come visit?
-Were y'all married before?
-How long?
-When did y'all get a divorce from your previous spouses?
-Do y'all have children together?
-Do y'all have children from any others?
-What date did y'all get married?
-What do y'all do for a living?
-What did my husband do in home country?
Documents he asked to see....
-Original marriage certificate.
-My husband's passport.
-Both of our driver's licenses.
-A few wedding pictures (I think to entertain me).
We took two backpacks FULL of documents from honey moon stuff, pictures, receipts, bills, proof of child support from him for his son, letters from my coworkers about us, the deed to my house. Pretty much anything you could think of linked to us being a married couple I brought just in case. Honestly, I was disappointed he didn't ask to see anything else but he had already reviewed our petition and I included pretty solid evidence in that already.
