My wife and I went for the interview on May 18th 2006 in Atlanta,Georgia. Interview was scheduled at 8am and we arrived there at 7:30.First ones to be called in by a gentleman in his 40's and we followed him to his office. We were sworn in firstly and he then asked us to take a seat. We were seated and talked to our attorney prior to asking us any questions. He kept looking back and forth through our paperwork and asked the same trick question to both of us....who were we married to otherwise it was the basic questions.The officer said everything looked good and that I would be receiving my approval and card in 3 to 4 weeks pending FBI name check. He didn't stamp my passport, take my I-94 or my EAD card and then proceeded to send me to get my fingerprinting done in another location.
On June 13th, I received and email saying that out I-130 has been approved and a letter came in mail to get my Biometrics No:2 done.

I received my notice 2 days ago:
My I-485 has been approved. On June 26, 2006, an approval notice was mailed.

Thanks to all of you the support and information.
God bless.
 
Congratulations!!! Good to hear that your FBI namecheck got cleared after you were told that it is pending at the time of the interview. This would give some hope to the others who have had the interview but are still waiting an approval - pending namecheck.
 
Though the online notice says that you should contact USCIS if you don't receive the card within 60 days, yet it usually takes around 3-5 weeks to get the physical card.
 
We carried a whole tote box with all the documents neatly tagged and not to mention wife was 8 months pregnant. When he was not asking questions, our attorney and us were talking about vacations plans and such. At one brief point he joined in our discussion.
We remained calm during the whole process.
 
Card finally came yesterday- 10 years

My card finally arrived and I got 10 years. To all, thanks for the advise and postings as it has helped me a whole bunch. Good luck to the rest who are waiting.
