We had our interview in Seattle, WA today and was approved two hours after interview.

A little insight: we got there about 30 minutes to our interview time and waited about 25 minutes. Our IO was very nice, cracking jokes and all. It didn't feel like an interview, he called it "story time" and that's how it felt. We did the normal identity checks and oath stuff and I felt like those were the only serious parts of the interview. We took our 13 months old daughter who wasn't in her best behavior, yet it didn't bother our process. All the hard work of gathering evidence paid off, though we had too many, so much so that our IO officer said we were okay. He didn't take any of the picture we took with us nor some documents we had prepared to give him. When it was my turn to narrate how my wife and I met and married life, I forgot most of it, and I would turn from time to time to ask my wife to remind me of things I had forgotten and she would help me remember what to say and so on. It was completely genuine. After the interview, our IO said he didn't see any reason why it shouldn't be approved. He essentially approved it, not just on the spot. Before we left, he made sure we understood what steps we'll need to take to remove conditional residency when time comes .

It may sound like a broken record, but truth is, just be honest and you'll be okay.
