Some reminders on your interview:
1) Please review your entire I-485 application form. Some officers might ask you questions line by line. That's what happened during my interview.
2) Please bring any documentation that they don't have in your file yet. For my case, the officer asked:
    a) if I traveled outside the US recently while my case is pending. I said yes, so he asked for my most recent I94.
    b) if I am on a working visa. I said my employer just recently filed for an extension for my H1-B, so he asked for a copy of I797 receipt.
    c) for employer letter
3) Other questions asked are:
    a) What is your job role?
    b) What are your job duties?
    c) When did you start working for your current employer?
    d) How long have you been in the US?
    e) How many times have you traveled outside the US? What are the departure and arrival dates?

Good luck everyone!
