Adjustment of Status - I-485

Hi All

Got my approval Today, It was really smooth, no questions asked. Interviewer only asked how we met. He was very professional and seemed super nice. We were professionally dressed in suits. Interview was 9 am but we got there early and he called us as 8.40am and we were done by 9.05 am.

He did go over all the forms and confirmed some information. He said he has approved us and it is reflecting in USCIS site that the case is approved.
