We had our interview this morning at 8:30 am at the St. Louis field office. We arrived at 8:00 am, we were called back at 8:45 and finished the interview at 9:15. So the interview took exactly 30 minutes. We had to put our phones and smart watches into a little locker.
We got into the room and the IO was very nice and professional. She took my husband's (immigrant) photo and finger print of both pointer fingers. She went through each questions on the AOS application with him, including all of the various questions about if he's ever been a prostitute or involved in the communist party etc. After that she had him sign a paper with the changes she made to the application which included my name change and the place he went through customs upon entry.
Next she asked us to present any photos and additional proof of a legitimate marriage. We had prepared a huge binder of documents including copies of all of our past applications, but she asked just to keep the actual proof we brought with us. We had many photos, emails regarding the planning of our wedding, a copy of our wedding vows, marriage certificate, shared accounts (We don't have a shared bank account but we do have an Amazon family account together, but she never asked about a joint bank account for anyone wondering), my father did an affidavit certifying we are in a legitimate marriage and that he attended our wedding, our lease agreement, and our car insurance and renter's insurance. She looked through all the photos and provided documents.
Then she asked the following questions directed to both of us:
1) How did you meet?
2) Why did you decide to move to the US instead of her moving to Canada?
3) Who visited who first?
4) How long did you date before you were married?
5) Where did you get married?
6) Where was the wedding reception at?
7) Were both of your families in attendance at the wedding?
8) Is there anything that bothers you about your spouse?
9) Do you talk about the future? What are your future plans together?
10) What do you plan on doing together later today?
Easy and low stress process!

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
