The interview was pretty straight forward.
The officer received me and guided me to her office. Took the oath and fingerprints.
She asked for my passport and ID. Then she was reviewing something on her computer while I was anxiously waiting.
Then she asked for my original birth certificate and translation. She pointed out that the photocopy of the translation that I had submitted along with the application was not clear and asked if I had another photocopy. I did not. She asked me not to worry and that she will make a photocopy herself, which she did at the end.
The next document she asked was the employment verification letter. My attorney had also asked me to take the SUPP - J along (I had already submitted this for my RFE). So I handed over the EVL and SUPP-J to the officer.
Then she asked me to start flipping the pages of my passport one by one. She noticed that my H-1B expired on 12/26. She asked if I'm on EAD. I said yes. She asked for it and I gave her my EAD. These were the only docs that were asked.
She then started with the questions - job responsibilities? what does your company do ? when was your last entry to the US? Your phone number? Your parents names? some 15-20 yes/no questions from 485, what's your address from the previous residence ? what were you doing there ? and pretty much that's it. She then asked me to sign and said I'll have to wait for 4-8 weeks for them to review my application and make a decision. She then asked me to wait in the waiting area while she took a photocopy of my birth cert translation and handed it over to me.
By the time I reached home, I got the text notification for status update on my case. Logged in and it said "New Card Being Produced".
Good luck everyone and happy to answer any questions. Thank you for all your support so far.
