Hope this will help someone. Our interview was scheduled at 8.30 am . We dropped the letter at counter #2 at 8.00 am. About 8.30 they called names for about 15 couples and led us to the second floor. We sat there untill 9.45 and we were asked for by a nice calm man in his mid 50's. He greeted and led us to his office and swore us in. Since my wife was pregnant he did not ask her anything. He went thru my application and asked me to give him my birth certificate, my wifes naturalization certificate, my I-130 approval notice, our marriage certificate, my wife's ss#,my ob/gyn letter, and having asked all this he asked for joint a/c to which I gave the lease and copy of our credit card and bank cards. Also I gave him our joint verizon utility bill.
After that he asked us about our salaries and I said my wife makes 20k and than he asked my income. I said that I make 15k. Further I said that the lawyers I consulted told me my salary is not considered. he said not true. And he told me that I did not need a joint sponsor and that our incomes for 2007 will suffice. he made me do the correction on I-485 and made me sign the forms. He removed the I864 from the joint sponsor and gave it back to me. Later he told me that everything looks fine now. He arranged his papers in the file and asked me for our marraige date and the due date for the baby. After that he asked us the usual no questions and said that everything loks fine but there is some another file that the MO office mailed with some temp number and once that will come in he will get the card to be mailed out. One good clue was that he mentioned that my security clearance were complete. I asked him if I could get the stamp today or not? I wanted to travel sometime soon ans he said that I should not untill I recieve the mail and the card .He said he cant stamp the passport as he needs to wait for the another file that was sent out to reach him and he will compile everything and that we should wait for mail in 2-6 weeks. Than we can try to follow up. He said that he will look forward to receiving the file some time this week. He removed a sheet and wrote down my file number for his reference to follow up. I said fine and asked for his name and number so that If I do not get a reply I could follow up with him. He said that they dont like people calling them and said to call him in 4-6 months in case I did not get anything in the mail. I noted his name and asked him if my case was approved. He said everything looks fine for now and he will wait for the other file to reach him to approve my application. I asked him if i will need to come back again to this he said no need. I said should I go and celebrate and he said yes of course. he wrote in my passport I-485 pending. We left his office thanking him for the professional and courteous interview.
We came home hoping that our interview was approved..... Kindly please give us your feedback as to where do we stand now.....

but you know your namecheck cleared... give it two weeks before you get an update by email.
Your situation may possibly answer our question as to why they wanted to see his W2s if his salary was not being considered.
