We had our AOS interview today in Boston.
We left our home at 1:50, and walked over to Government Center. We arrived at the JFK Federal Building at around 2:10. We checked in, and the man at the front desk asked if we brought a lawyer. We said no. He took our appointment notice, and told us to take a seat.
At 2:30, a young woman came out and called our last name. She brought us through the locked door. There are tons of offices back there! We followed her to her cubicle, where there were two seats just outside, one seat next to her desk, and her office chair. She gave us our oath, we swore to tell the truth, yadda yadda yadda. She told my husband to sit in the seat next to her desk, and I sat on one of the chairs at the edge of the cubicle.
She started going through our file, asked for my husband's passport, EAD card, I-94, etc. Then she asked if we had our original marriage certificate. I swear, I could not find that thing in my perfectly organized file! I found a copy and handed it to her, then continued looking in my (did I say perfectly organized?) file. I found the original just as she found the original that we had sent with our packet.
She asked how we met, when we got married. She asked if we had a big or small wedding, if his family attended (they did). Also asked if we went on a honeymoon (we didn't). She asked why not, we told her that we wanted to go someplace outside the country and he couldn't travel.
She asked if I had my original divorce decrees, and I gave them to her. She asked me if both of my ex-husbands were Americans (they were). She asked my husband his date of birth, and if he had a job (he got one last week, right after he got his EAD), and where he worked.
We talked a little bit about how much we traveled back and forth to see each other during the past two years. She then asked if we had any proof. We showed her 4 photo albums full of stuff - she said she liked our pictures, she flipped through one or two of the albums, just glancing at photos. We gave her our lease with both names, bank statements with both names on the account, he's on my work medical plan, plus on my life insurance.
She flipped through the file, removed some things, put other things in, and asked the questions on the checklist: communist, prostitute, genocide, etc.
Then, she said, "You're approved today!" She took his EAD card, but gave him a copy of it in case he still needs it for work.
We walked out the front door of the building at 2:55 p.m.

I had been preparing for the interview for a few days prior and so had worked myself up into a bit of a frenzy but I so did not have to worry.
After the initial shock of how much parking was (my advice is to take the train in as its something like $13.00 for one hour!) we arrived at about 12.30 for our 1pm interview.
After about 15 minutes we were called and taken into the office at which time my husband and I had to "swear to tell the truth" etc, and she took our id's.
The lady went through our file and as she was doing so started to ask me the usual, have you been deported, belong to any organisation etc questions. She then asked when we got married and started to explain that i would have the 2 year conditional status of which i will have to removed conditions within 90 days of that expiring.
This is where it got weird, she talked to my husband more than she did me, asking him if he had met my family, all about his job (he works for the government too so she was generally interested in his line of work) and just generally aimed the questions more at me. She finally asked me if i had met his parents and that was it.
She then asked if I had left the country since entering and I said yes at which point she asked me where my advance parol was. I knew I did not need it as I am K3 and my visa is multiple entry of which i explained and she then had to phone someone to check as she said she was not sure about that. The lady on the other end of the line obviously said what I had just told her and then she said "yes thats what i thought but i just wanted to check!". I thought it was pretty funny as it seemed I knew more about how K3 worked then she did.
She asked for NO evidence, even though i had bought a folder of things including evidence of our relationship, copies of everything etc. I really got the sense that her mind was elsewhere and it was almost like she couldnt be bothered other than getting us out the door. One of her girlfriends called during this time and she started to chat but then said she was in a interview and would call her back!!!!!!
At this point she told us we were approved  and then explained she had updated our staus to say that my card was in production and i should recieve it in about a week. And that was it!
We were in and out within a hour!

Got there at 7:30 for our 8am appointment. We didn't get called until 8:15. I guess the person who interviewed us was reviewing our file because we saw him come to the desk before 8am and then take the file back. We had four books with us. A book of supporting evidence, copies of both the I-485 package and I-130 package, a general photo album, and our wedding album. The guy had us raise our right hand and swear to tell the truth. Then he asked for identification.
Then he started asking the following questions to my wife(the petitioner).
What's your address?
How many rooms in your apartment?
Have you ever been in the U.S. before? and ever been deported?
Are you working?
Have you ever been convicted of fellony, arrested, a prostitute, ..etc.
He asked me one question.
When did I meet my wife?
My wife answered No to all the questions. Then he asked one last question.
Why didn't you file for a marriage visa? My wife answered because the last time she visited she just came to visit. Not to get married.
The guy then started filling out paperwork and we were approved. He gave us a form and I asked about the I-551 stamp and he said they don't do that anymore unless we have proof that we need to travel.
He never even looked at our books. Interview was over in 15 minutes. The guy was not friendly at all, which made it hard. But it was quick.
