Regarding my interview questions: Since my home country has mandatory military service for adult males, the officer asked if I had received any weapons training during my service, and I answered yes.
The rest of the questions were basically the Yes/No questions from the back of the I-485 form—about a dozen or so. The whole process was pretty fast: I checked in at 7:15 AM, the interview started at 7:40 AM, and we were done by 7:55 AM. The officer even told me that he should be able to give me a decision within a day or two.
However, around noon that same day, USCIS issued a memo that got me a bit worried.
Finally, I wish everyone the best of luck with your journey!
