San Jose, CA. I have observed if everything goes ok, it takes 3.5 to 4 months. RFE delays it a bit (sometimes not always) and early walk-in FP generally helps but USCIS can be unpredictable at times.

I had my interview today with my husband. We waited for about half an hour and the interview itself was about 40 minutes. The officer was very friendly and professional. He went through all the questions on my form I-485, I-130 and g325a. And, asked for my joint bank account info., photos, Tax transcripts etc. The only problem is my fingerprint hasn't been cleared and he requested a police clearance certificate from each city I have lived in the past 2 years. That's it. Hope I can get my green card by the end of this month and good luck to you all!

Thanks map1map 
My DO is San Francisco, CA. Yes, it did take a while. The officer went out for a couple of times. He apologized and said he was trying to find some documents.

Interview Completed!
Heyyyy Guys,
Had my interview this morning and I aced it.) Here is the story...we went to Philly office at 8Am for my 8:30Am appointment. There were 6 or 7 pairs already waiting in the room and we signed and took a seat. A couple of people were called in and we just sat there thinking they were going to call us only after the people who were already waiting. But at 8:20Am, the officer called my name and we went in and the officer asked me where I worked and since I work in a Bank, he made some comment (not funny) about it. Anyway, he is the OFFICER, he can say anything rite? ;-) So, we took the oath and he asked my husband for his US passport/Naturalization Certificate, his and my driver’s license, my passport, Marriage certificate and birth certificates of both. He took my I-94 and then he asked my husband..
1. Were you guys married in India?
2. How did you guys meet?
3. Whats your wife’s Birthdate?
Then he asked me, do you know your husband’s Birthdate, your wedding date and then he went over some ques in my I-130 and I-485. Then he asked me can u show some proof of you living together. I gave the Bank Statements, Mortgage monthly Stmt, Auto/Home Insurance etc., Then he asked do you guys have any wedding pics, so I gave him the BIG Album from my wedding. He is like “WOW” and then he skipped thru few photos and asked me can you give me a picture of you and your husband from the Album. I gave him one. Then he said do you have any other ques or wanted to show me anything else(??). I asked “Is my name check cleared?”, he said “Everything looks good”. Then I asked “Would you be stamping my passport today”, he said “No, we don’t do that anymore, but are you planning to travel?”. I said “No”, then he said “So, you are all set, you should get your GC in a month”.) Then he went to make some copies of our passports and EAD. He once again asked if we have any ques, I said “No” and then he said “Unless my boss has any question or wanted more information, you wouldn’t be asked for any more documents and you should get your GC soon”
That’s it, we are out of the office by 8:35Am. It was very smooth and its all over in like 10 mins. I am VERY HAPPY and will go out to celebrate today evening, rite now I am stuck at work.
Thanks so much, without you all I couldn’t have done this. Will post once I get my GC. I wish everyone else a VERY GOODLUCK!!
P.S: My I-130 still doesn’t show up online and I-485 still shows “Received and Pending”.
Thanks,
Priya

Hi,
You are from SFO, and sent your application to Chicago. Did they ever transfer your case to California or the entire processing was completed from Chicago.
Thanks.

Nutrient2,
How was ur interview on the 27th? Hope all is well.
Thanks,
Priya
The interview went well! Appointment for 2pm we arrived at 1:45pm, then waited. And waited. The room was full. We waited for two hours. I was nervous. My husband was super relaxed and not worried at all!
We finally got in and the officer was really nice. She asked some basic questions, how did you meet, what evidence do you have to prove you are married, etc. She looked through our photos and took the copies for her file.
The interview took maybe 15-20 minutes. We were approved!
I just got my card in the mail just a few minutes ago
Hope everyone else is doing well
