Interview At Local Office

Guys ,
I had my interview at local office last week . I was kind of worry , because I had no clue what they want from me .My asylum case is very simple , not complicated .IO was nice and very friendly , he turn on camera and ask me to tell true , I said "yes" .He ask for NP , and give it back to me , so its like he check my ID only, did not look at visas , stamps , etc.Next , he open my original I485 , and ask ALL QUESTIONS from form , from the beginning to the end.Using red ink , he put check mark to all fields.After the last answer from long list "NO", "NO", "NO" , he stand up , shake my hand and said "Your PR status is approved , you can apply for citizenship in a for years ".Than we both sat down , he took a paper from my file and said "This is your approval letter....".Next second I did stupid thing: I was trying to take it with my both hands , but he did not give it to me.He continue "you'll get it by mail in a two weeks , and plastic card in a two months , both from Lincoln".I said , "I was so worry , and expect something like additional papers , etc , but got approval , this is my lucky day , and I feel happy now". He said "Usually if we need some additional papers or if we have some questions , we are sending request by mail , we are not here to surprise applicants with any kind of unexpected questions" . I brought all my immigration papers , one big bag with original documents , identical bag with copies , and third huge with tax returns , both personal , and for my company , but he did not ask for anything (tax returns , work paper, travel document,etc).After all I said "Thanks" like 10 times , he follow with me to the exit , and that's it.I spend 15 min total , including 7-8 min for interview itself .It was easy , simple , and I wish to all of you guys , who is waiting , nice IO , and the same good experience/result.
Also , I'd like to tell you , guys something , that always helps if you not sure how to answer the question.It may help you at interview , I think.If the question is "yes " or "no" , answer correctly , but if the question is "black" or "white" --- do not answer!Just say "Depends from...." .
I wish you all good luck , sorry I did not post it sooner , but I did answer all private massages.
Feel free to ask.
What is my current status? "Verbally approved" ?????

Dear Ms. Morning:

A lady together with me to have her Code1 done on Nov.16. last year got her G/C without any changes in INS's website. She thought it was a credit card, then three days later, she opened, it is her long time waiting G/C. No welcome letter at all. Is this strange?

After 10 years being stuck with the INS nothing surprises me. :rolleyes:

Dear Ms. Morning:

My heart is colding down & down. I try my best of not thinking of G/C all the time. It is really painful once you think of it???
