Interview scheduled Mar 14th for Apr 18th

We arrived about 45 minutes before our interview which was scheduled for 1:55pm. The security check took about 5 minutes and everyone was very friendly. The waiting area is very busy and there is a check in desk but we were advised to sit and wait until our appointment time was called.
Within a few minutes of waiting we were directed to the right door and waited with other couples. What I observed was there are a lot of younger and very friendly IOS in this office with the exception of one. Everyone came from her office looking a little traumatized. I prayed that I would not get her.
At exactly 1:55 my name was called and low and behold it was the mean looking IO an older African American lady. No problem I thought to myself we got this.
She greeted us and directed us to her office and swore us in and directed us to sit down pulled out our file and looked through without saying a word. At this point there is just this very awkward silence. I then started to get very worried. She then asked for our ids and my passport and then more awkward silence…….
The door to the office was open and there were people having a very loud conversation in the hallway, she got up and shut the door ( thanks a lot guys now you pissed her off even more. I thought to myself) Then she went back to looking through my passport without a single word. Oh boy! She got up and went to make copies of our ids( she didn't want the ones I had conveniently made) and left the door open on her way back. A new group of hallway gossipers were back having a very loud inappropriate conversation. This time she got up and slammed the door hard! My husband and I just burst out laughing. She then said some people are just ignorant! But the mood changed in the room( thank you hallway gossipers).
She then asked the yes/ no questions, made notes of the organizations that I am a member of and then with a little shake of her shoulders told me to expect my gc within 90 days. She didn't ask for our taxes or new medical she told us we were good! Whole interview took about 15 minutes but felt like forever.
I hope this helps anyone going to the Philadelphia office. I will update once I actually have the card
Good luck everyone
