Rating:  | Review Topic: Adjustment of Status
Interview was scheduled for 9:30, we were called at 9:45 and the three of us (petitioner, beneficiary, attorney) went in together, they didn't separate us. The actual "interview" part lasted less than 10 minutes: we were asked how we met, to which we both added information, how we decided to start dating, and a couple of things about our wedding. That was it. The rest was the mandatory yes/no questions at the end of the I-485 form, and talking about how to get a walk-in Infopass appointment to get an I-551 temporary stamp since I had travel plans, leaving the US three days after the interview. The officer was very courteous and polite.
I went in the next day for the I-551 stamp. They give out only a handful of walk-in appointments, first-come first-serve, as soon as the office opens, so being there very early paid off. I showed my plane ticket and receipt notice for the I-485 filing, the officer checked the status and said that because the green card was already in production he'd give me an I-551 stamp valid for only one month, which was more than enough for my travel purposes. He stamped my passport and I was on my way.
