Interview Experience

We had our interview last week, I prepared my wife for the interview, coached her several times on questions and answers; out marriage is authentic but i wanted to make sure our answers matched. We took our son to the interview, who is 16 months old because we didnt have a babysitter. My wife talks a lot, I told her just give short answers, dont tell any more than what is asked. She is on F1 and is in status; but anyway, we were called in after an hour of waiting, our son was very hyper and it was hard to control him he was just going all around in her office, she just asked for the copies of documents that we had, didnt even look at bank statement or credti cards, asked if my wife is still in status, she told us if we want to finish it quick, just give her the copies that we brought, she had a copier next to her, so she made copies of her state id. Then usual questions, where we met; when did we get married, did we give reception, we showed her pictures, she just glanced, my wife started to tell a long story, which Ihad to cut her off, and wanted it to be short...she gave us a paper to sign for 751 and told us that she will review the info and it seems like it will be approved, and it will be conditional GC and will get permanent GC in two years. We have been married 1.7 years.
We thanked her and apolized for our sons behavior, she was a pleasent lady, she said I dont mind.

We got 485 and 130 approval letters yesterday. The whole process took like 75 days from NOA to approval and I was thinking back on my GC, it took me seven years to get that because of labor certification etc. Thanks all for your help. It is a great forum.
