Wow congrats.

I just went though this myself back in October. Seems like you had a much hard interview than me.
I forgot my Wife's name ( we are married 10 years with a daughter). The agent just laughed it off.
She asked me a few other questions like her parents names. She asked my wife about my parents.
I was approved within an hour of the interview.

Here is our story/timeline:

My husband was brought here when he was 6, he is about to turn 31 next month.

We got married in 2008 so this November will be 7 years married.

10/2012 we applied for his DACA and was approved
3/31/2014 My Husband Sent I-131 for advanced parole to visit sick grandma
4/2014 We Renewed his DACA before it expired
8/22/2014 Advanced parole was approved (Took almost 5 months to be approved with given only 2 weeks to travel)
9/5/2014 - Traveled to Mexico with AP (flew out of LAX and returned driving through the Tijuana border.
11/18/2014 Applied for Visa (I-130) & adjustment of status based on marriage (I-485)
His Biometrics appt letter only took about a month & half to get
3/22/2015 Received Letter with interview date and time
4/23/2015 our interview in los angeles, ca

This is what happened at our interview:

Our appointment was in LOS ANGELES, CA at 10:30 am.
We went through security at around 9:30am, there was a food and drink stand inside so we grabbed something and waited until 10am. We then took elevators to the 6th floor where we checked in at a window in the room# the letter provided, they held onto our letter and sent us to a different waiting room down the hall to wait. We waited in the waiting room until 11:30am before they called us. We were getting nervous because the agents we saw coming out to grabbed the couples before us were all so serious and some were rude when they called the people in. We were then called by An Asian agent that looked nice, so we were a little relieved.

Once in his office, he left the door open, he told us to remain standing and he swore us in. Once sitted he asked for both our ID's and passports, he had a BIG folder full of papers which was my husband entire care from the begginning including his first DACA documents. He started asking me questions then my husbands questions but I couldnt answer the questions being asked to my husband, and he couldnt answer the question being asked to me. Some of the questions asked were:

What is my full name (asked to my husband)
What is my Husbands full name (Asked to me)
Where did I work, what do i do, how long have i been there? (asked to my husband)
Where did my husband work, how long and what does he do there (asked to me)
What are each of our parents names and what do they do
Why don't we have kids yet
When was my husbands first illegal entrance, how and who did he come with
When was my husbands last entrance (our advanced parole)

A couple questions we couldn't remember the dates and the agent was rude making the comment" you forgot already, how could you forget it, you don't remember?" We were getting nervous it wasn't going so good. He didn't even look at any of the 3 photo albums I took and he said I sent in and brought more stuff then I needed to which annoyed him I guess.

The entire interview was about 25 minutes. After he said he needs to review the case and we will get an answer by mail, he gave us a paper with a box checkmarked that our case is being held for review.

We left not feeling so well, but we did our best. Within 2 hours our case status online said " our card has been ordered" we were sooooo excited!!!!

Then this morning the case status online says:
"Welcome notice was mailed, on April 22,2015 we registered your permanent residence status and mailed you a welcome letter. Your permanent residence card should arrive by June 21,2015"


All these years it is finally over!! I definitely recomend using Advanced parole to clear EWI and adjust status through marriage!
I know this is a little older but I was wondering if previous to AOS with AP, if you had filed I 130? My husband and I have been married for 9 years and we had tried many years ago to fix my status but I didn't know the because of EWI I was to go through consular processing and a lawyed advised me to skip it and just wait for some law to come in. Fast forward to now; I have DACA and went to Mexico with AP but now I am stuck on filing the I130 because of the previous approved one. So did you file one before and how did you disclose this on the form. Thanks

Also very interested in this.

Are they looking for details like " crossed by the dessert with a uncle?" Do they ask about the uncle?
