Family-based adjustment of status (marriage)
Overall, it was a very smooth process! The only hiccup was the following:
I applied for the adjustment while living in MN, but then decided to move to TX. I submitted an AR-11 to make sure USCIS is aware of my address change. A few weeks later they scheduled my interview in MN! I had to call and let them know about this mistake, so they cancelled the interview and finally 2 months later, they scheduled another interview near my home in TX.
The adjudication officer was very nice and asked us basic questions about ourselves (job, place of birth, etc.), and the only question he asked about my relationship with my wife is “How did you meet?” He did not ask for any documented evidence of the bona fides of our marriage.
I think these officers are highly trained and can easily tell if a relationship is genuine or not. So if you have nothing to hide, don’t worry! Just be yourself like me and my wife did!
