Went to the interview today and I was approved right there.
The interview was quite painless. We went with a big box of stuff (A LOT OF STUFF) and he didn't really look at much.
Anyways, we got there a half hour early and were called in 5 minutes early. He made us swear in and all that then started asking my wife questions. He was actually much harder with the questions on my wife. He asked her when my birthday was, when we met, how we met and other questions about our history. He asked about her job, then my job and how much we made. That was pretty much it for the questions for me, other than he asked for my address (I'm guessing to make sure it's the same as my wife's).
He then looked through our wedding photos. We brought a lot and he went through them all. He asked us to identify various people, asked us about the wedding, where it was, how many people and so on. He looked through them for a bit.
He then went through our evidence. He took our lease agreement, insurance forms and such just to add to the file. He then started asking me the standard questions ("You ever been arrested?" "You ever been in jail?" "Are you a terrorist?" etc.) He then went through the forms and made notes. He then mentioned he was going to check my background check. Then it was silent for a bit as he looked through my file. Then he said he was going to approve my application and mentioned since I've been married more than 3 years I wouldn't be getting a conditional card and can expect the card in two weeks. We shook hands and that was it. If it was 20-minutes I'd be surprised.
The interviewer was nice. He had a sense of humour, and smiled when he asked me the "Are you a terrorist?" question. He didn't take my EAD or my I-94, but I asked him if he needed it back. He told me with Canadians they don't usually care but took the I-94 back from me anyways and stapled it to my file.
And that was that.
