Finally had the GC interview today at the SF office. Whole process took about 10 months since application was submitted in March of 2017.

Interview went okay and the questions were definitely rapid fire type questions:

"Where'd you meet?"
"How'd you meet?"
"Have you met the parents, and have the parents met each other?"

It was definitely nerve-racking in the beginning when she was asking about my passport and why the surname didn't match my last name on my current DACA EAD. Once we cleared that tiny issue out with her, she was able to be more opened and friendly to whatever else we answered and provided. It seemed like the interviewing officer was checking to see how my wife and I handled some of the the questions she asked our way. Quick answers would have seemed too "rehearsed", so we definitely had mini-conversations while we came up with the correct answers. All in all, it felt like the officer was more friendly towards the end of the interview once my wife took the lead on a few answers.

As for evidence, we provided our wedding pictures, current bank statements, utility bills, and honeymoon tickets at the interview which led to her approving my 485 on the spot. USCIS case tracking hasn't shown my 2-year GC as approved yet, so I wasn't sure how long before the system updates. Has anyone else faced this beforee if/when they were approved on the spot?
Congratulations on your approval!

I recently received my GC. The whole process took almost 9 months. I interviewed at almost 6 months but had to wait longer while they processed an RFE.

I'm not quite sure how to feel except to be thankful and reflect on this journey. It's been quite a ride here on DAP since 2006.

There's a lot of work left to be done for our community so let's get to it.

US residency through spouse can only be processed based on a "qualifying relative". The only way to prove that relationship is when USCIS approves your I-130 proving a bona fide relationship.

Thanks!
All should be Yes. 'Deferred Action' is atypically used as a protection from removal.

My I-130 was approved in Nebraska no interview.

Good luck arclite!! Everything will be alright. Just breathe and relax. Your life will be changing in the matter of hours! How exciting!!

To all those waiting, keep having patience! My case took about 9 months. I never received any updates aside from the case being received. After my bios, the following update was simply notice in the mail about my interview date.
