The Green Card interview was smooth. No need to feel stressed about it, as
long as:
- you are REALLY married
- you have never lied regarding your immigration status in the past, or in
filing your paperwork

Our interview (in San Jose) was videotaped, and we spent most of the time
going over the information I wrote in the application, as well as the
different times I entered the country previously (why, how long, etc.). I
think they were double-checking to try to catch me in a lie, which is
probably one of the few ways they can prevent someone from getting a green
card under these conditions.

Some people said it can be useful to have documents showing that you really
are married and living together (joint bank accounts, lease documents,
happy wedding photos, etc.). I don't recall that we needed any of this.

Good luck,

Laurent
