We were told to sit down and wait until called, which is what we did. The waiting area is fairly big; there are restrooms at the very back and drinking fountains in the middle. About 30-45 minutes past our stated interview time (12.45pm), we my name was called by an immigration officer, and we proceeded to the interview section with him. The officer was very nice and welcoming. We were first sworn in and then had a seat. The officer took my finger prints, my picture, and looked at all of our ID documents. We both had our driver's licenses and our passports with us, and I had brought in my old (now invalidated) passport with the K1-visa in it as well. He then proceeded to explain to us that he would ask us some questions and that only the person addressed should answer, joking that even though, as a married couple, we might be used to answering questions for each other. He proceeded in asking my spouse how we had met to which she gave a brief overview. He asked a bunch of follow-up questions, and then asked me about my previous stays in the U.S., which took some time because there were at least 25, one of which was an F1-visa. After that, he asked for evidence we had brought, and I handed him two lease agreements (we recently moved to a new place), two bank account statements for a checking and a savings account respectively, and a move-out notice for an external storage unit with both of our names. I also gave him a photo album with pictures from our wedding that my mother had put together for us as a Christmas present. The officer looked through the pages of the album and asked me one question regarding the name of a person (which happened to be somebody from my own bridal party). He briefly went over the rest of the evidence and then put it aside. He proceeded to ask us both questions as to how our families reacted to the announcement of our wedding, when we had met each others' families, and then, he proceeded to ask my wife who had proposed. She answered and provided some background information as to how it went. He then went on to ask me whether or not I had at all expected it, and I went on to elaborate a little bit on that. The officer then proceeded to ask me all the questions from the form (are you a terrorist, etc.), and in the middle of that, he turned to my wife and asked her my parents' names (very weird). After that, he explained to us what would happen next and that we would have to file for Removal of Conditions (I-751) two years after my green card would be issued. He also mentioned that I would become eligible for citizenship three years after the issuance of my first green card, emphasizing that I will be able to file that application, even if the I-751 would still be pending. We joked a bit about the processing times for I-751, and then, because we didn't have any further questions, the interview was over. All in all, it was a surprisingly painless experience and went very smoothly. A note about parking: we parked across the street from the office, and it was free! Update: on March 31, the approval notice got here. However, the online status has not changed (and probably won't, even after my green card gets issued...). Update II: on April 4, 8 days after our interview, my green card arrived. Online status on USCIS still says "Interview scheduled"...	2021-11-08
