Well, it's done. I can't say that it is over since I didn't get a stamp on my passport. My experience is different from your Glistenpearls but similar to dv2008gh.
My husband and I were there at 6:50a.m., we stayed in the car until about 7:15 then headed there. We had to stand in line outside since their offices were closed. when we went in, of course, we went through security then were told to head to the right office. Once there, the officer at the registration window took our appointment form and asked us to wait. we waited from about 7:35 to 8:20. Both our names were called at 8:20 (note that my hubby and I had different appt. times: 8 and 8:30). We walked in to the officer's office, she was extremely friendly. She asked me to stand up (I was so eager to finish I sat before everyone, ready to roll
She asked the exact same questions as my husband's. She then said that it all looked ok. We wanted to show our diplomas but she said no worry, she only asks to see them from people that seem "shady" and we didn't to her
She told us that it was great, that we should expect an approval letter in the mail soon and the card later on. My husband asked if he should cancel his application with his current job (he applied for his GC through work as well) and she said no need, let it run its course unless it's costing him money. then I asked if she needed our passport to stamp, she said they didn't do that in Baltimore, some offices do, but not here. I asked if there was a number available, she didn't say anything, she said, "stop worrying and stop with the questions, i will probably approve this file today, so stop worrying". Thank God my husband was in control and remembered to ask about our name checks, she looked through the file again and said "Yep, all clear
We walked out, neither happy nor sad. I guess I understand dv2008gh's reaction. When we wait so long (in my case over 14months since the first letter) you at least expect something in hand stating that it's over. I'm sure we'll get something soon, but a word right now is not worth the card!
I'll keep you posted. I hope my experience will help others in this situation with an interview in Baltimore. We had A LOT of papers, but the only thing she asked for were our passports, our proof of legal status (H1B) and our diplomas!
Good luck everyone. Badluck, your up next, it'll go great!

Good luck to you maconcita, you'll get over with it soon
I will be sending my documents to chicago lockbox, as my number came up for October
I am in Northern Virginia, Do you have any idea how is the USCIS/interview process is here?
Jarev, Also about the vaccination, won't it be enough if you get everything mentioned on I-693?
