Interview went well (this was on June 6, 2017 - just updating my timeline today), we were not approved in-office before we left however. The officer claimed we needed form I-693, a new medical exam/vaccinations done here in the U.S. She believed that the medical exam we did in the Philippines for our K1 was no longer valid because it had been more than a year between the interview and her medical exam.
We anticipated this might occur and had brought a print-out of form I-693inst page 8 (top portion of the form highlighted), which states that the 1 year requirement is not between the medical exam and the interview, but for having filed for AOS within 1 year of having the overseas medical exam - which we did do.
Fortunately, the officer agreed to take this up with her boss, but would not be approving us until getting clarification on the requirement, and sent us home telling us to wait for their reply. On our way home from the interview, within 2 hours, we received a text message with the approval for the green card.
