AoS Interview in San Jose, California - EB2 India

My wife and I had our I-485 AoS interview in San Jose, California. The interview went fine. The application is held for review. No decision was made during the interview.
The interview was 1-hour long. There was only one officer interviewing both of us. We started with the oath and then he started reviewing our travel history.
He also immediately asked me to pull out ALL the documents listed in the interview notice, specifically, our tax records, auto, home, and health insurance documents, pay statements, credit card statements, marriage certificate and birth certificate.
My attorney had advised that that supplement J would be sufficient and the officer would not ask for pay statements. I provided him with my employment letter. I also let him know that I did not have the tax records or insurance documents with me. I had gas & electricity bills, marriage certificate and bank letter to prove that my wife and I were together.
He then made us sign waivers as there was no attorney present.
The interview went fine. He asked us about our recent trip to Europe, about the weather there, what I do for work, whether my wife works at a company and almost all yes/no questions from the I-485.
In the end, he said he would like to see my pay statements for last 2 months and tax records for the last 1-2 years. Plus, he said auto, health and home insurance documents along with our marriage photos would be very helpful to show that we were together (this was a nice to have request).
We drove back home, I got the documents he requested and dropped them off at the reception as per his instruction. I also included a copy of the AP and EAD cards for my wife and I, even though he did specifically request for them. His whole point was that we should provide him with everything on the interview notice.
No official RFE was issued. He said the files will be sent today (not sure where?!) and “they” will let us know if any other documents are needed.
