The interview went fine. After the IO took me to his office and have me took an oath, he asked me to sign a paper stating that I don’t have the lawyer present with me. 
He captured a photo and finger scan and started asking about my name, date of birth, country of birth, current address and started the Yes and NO questions.
He asked about my first entry in the US, all my approved notices from B2 to H1B (which he asked for my current H1B approved notice coz they don’t have it on file or maybe he just couldn’t find it in that very thick folder). 
And then he started asking about the company I worked for, the current job offer and new position they offer and what was my previous job with them. Then he asked for the employment verification letter and took one original copy.
He also checked all my passports, IDs, EAD and opened and checked my medical exam result I -693.
And after all of those questions, he said everything looked good and he made a compliment about my loyalty to the company which he said is good I still work for them.  But he said he will still review my approved I-140 and the current job offer.
Then he gave me a paper stating the interview result and reason for continuance, and in the paper with the checked box says, 

  “Your case is being held for review. At this time, USCIS doesn’t require any further information or documents from you. Should further information or documents be required, you will receive a notice in the mail. We may also schedule you for another interview, you will receive a notice in the mail. Otherwise, a final decision will be mailed once your case is complete”.

I’ve been in two weeks of agony suffering for uncertainties after my interview.
Thank God my journey was over. Its been a very long process but its worth the wait. Keep praying and hope for the best. Patience is indeed a virtue.

Good luck everyone!!!
