About the interview: My wife and I went 30 minutes early (no lawyer), but waited almost 50 minutes for the interview. (Basically, interview began 20 minutes after the appointment time.) We were led into a room where we first took an oath. Officer went through and asked almost every single questions on I-485 form to confirm what we wrote on the application and correct any mistakes, if any. The officer asked for a letter from my employer, which I provided, and asked what my job title was. Also asked what my current salary is. I offered to give the officer my W-2, and recent payslips, but the officer declined. The officer asked a LOT of questions about our marriage: when we first met, when we got married, who was at the wedding, where our parents currently live, why my wife doesn't work right now, etc. The officer also asked for any material evidence of our marriage being bona fide, apart from the marriage certificate. We showed the officer our wedding album, along with our joint rental lease contract, car insurance, joint tax form, joint credit card statement, and most importantly, the birth certificate of our daughter which has both of our names as the parent. The officer asked for any loose-leaf picture that can be included in the file, which we didn't have, but appeared to be okay. All in all, a pretty comprehensive and detailed interview that took about an hour long.
Hope this helps.
