It does not
my letter also says 'initial' --- Moreover, it only mentions form I-485 and not Form i-130.

Don't worry
Don't worry RustyNail74, even my appt letter said 'Initial' and also my husband's naturalization appoinment letter said 'Initial' --- both were hassle free affairs.
As long as one's case is genuine, there is nothing to worry about in the interview. Just make sure you have all your documents and try and answer questions to the point and do not volunteer information.
Good luck

Congratulation to everyone!!!
I have a question, if anyone knows the answer please help me. When i filed the AOS, on all the forms i used my husbands name. Do you know if my green card will be issued under his name?
And if that is the case is there any way i can tell someone i want to keep my maiden name,before they issue the green card? Id like to change my passport, ssn, id first and then deal with the green card.
Do you know or heard anything about this?

My green card is only for 2 years. I know that after two years, I've to submit some forms to remove the conditions. Does the same apply to you?
My interview was on Jan 29 and we were interviewed for 5 minutes and got approved. Got approval notices online yesterday, a day after the interview.
My DO is Los Angeles.
I wish everyone luck! My IO was very nice and cracked lots of jokes and only asked few questions.
-What are your inlaw's names?
-Where do you live?
-How old are you and your wife?
-Do you know your home and cell number?
-Can I see any joint document (we only had a joint bank account)
-Saw a few pictures
He also stated that, since our marriage was less than 2 years old...my GC would be a conditional one for 2 years. After, I would have to apply to have the conditions removed. I requested for a stamp on my passport, he told me not to travel and wait 3 weeks for my GC and he said, even if he wanted to...he couldn't have stamped my passport since he needs approval from his supervisor.
That was it! Took less than 5 minutes.

My GC is not a conditional one, since I had been married for over 2 years as of the date of approval.
Good Luck for your interview.
interview in Garden City today
Approved but name checking pending.
My appointment is 1pm. We arrived around 12, then handled the notice to the officer. We got called half an hour later, and brought into the 2nd floor with other 10 or more applicants. All ppl were waiting there for getting called by interview officer.
We waited for 1 and half hour, almost everyone got finished, and another group were brought up. Some ppl from this group got called, but still not us. I asked an officer. She told me the case already assigned to the officer, maybe he/she needed more time to review it and asked me to wait some more time.
15 mins later, I asked again. the lady brought an supervisor to me. the supervisor said they may lost my notice (but i got called when i waited in the lobby), asking me to write my name to him.
10 mins later, we got called by an officer. Maybe the supervisor assigned my case just to him.
We gave him the passports. He began to review all the documents We sent. Confirming the name, the address, the information on the application forms.
Then, he asked the pics. Since we are together for 5 years, there are a lot. He asked where we meet. And He asked when we are going to have ceremony.(we didn't have it yet)
He asked if we had any joint documents, I gave him car insurance, banking statement and cell phone bill. Since we leave at his home, and the bill is under his parents' name, we don't have any other documents.
At last, he asked me to give him the front door key of our house. Then, asked my husband to give his to him. He compared, and said perfect.
That's it. Pretty quick, total is 10 mins. He told me my name check is still pending. He noticed today is Chinese New Year, and joked to us should give him red envelope.
The waiting time is long, but the interview is quick. Hope my name check will be cleared soon. Good luck to anyone here.

interview approved, waiting for file merged
everything is fine and the interview was easy and name check was cleared. The office first said he will approve my case today, then he said since my background check and name check are done on the old A number, they need to merge the two A file records together. he said the max waiting time will be two months.
