My wife and I went for the interview today at the Pittsburgh DO at 9 am. We were called in at about 945 (there were about 2-3 others in the waiting room). The interviewer was a really pleasant lady who ushered us into her office. First, she went through I-130 application details (for about 2 minutes), then went through the I-485 details (name, address, etc.) for 2-3 minutes. She asked if we had any photos which we showed her. Then she said we would be approved. We were out of her office by about 950. We were almost like "that's it"? Anyway, she didn't take the I-94 or EAD or AP documents (which I thought was weird). On my way out, I asked, and she said you can keep it! Well, I will wait to see what happens now. For now, I guess my GC is approved and I will wait for it in the mail. :)

Thanks whtmyid, bribeal & chicagovc.
Though I haven't received my card yet, I have to say my application process went fairly quickly (thankfully!). It has been less than 90 days since I sent my application. I learned a lot on this forum about immigration processes in general. I will still hang out to answer anyone's queries to the best of my abilities. ~Tom

Interview today - no problem! IO proofed all info on the I-130 & I-485, asked the "no" questions, asked about how we met, first date, etc., then asked for anything else we wanted to submit - we gave him a copy of our wedding invitation, photos, more bank statements...he finally stopped me and said that he had enough material. At that point I produced a hotel reservation in Montreal for New Year's Eve, and requested an I-551 stamp - no problem there either.

Smooth experience - see you all in 2 years minus 90 days for the I-751!
