Their story
Based on an experience shared in r/USCIS: filed I-130, I-485 and I-765 concurrently (lockbox: Chicago), with a field office interview at Orlando. Applicant was previously on a B2 visitor visa and out of status, with no unauthorized work, at the time of filing.
Documents & evidence
Only identity documents and marriage certificate were requested at the interview -- no additional evidence needed.
Their advice
Interview was described as low-stress: staff and officer were professional, the couple was not separated during questioning, and there was informal conversation before/after. The poster's main tip: submit a separate payment form for each benefit request (I-130, I-485, I-765) to avoid processing issues.
