Their story
Marriage-based AOS, filed I-130 with I-485 concurrently. Immigrant spouse's path was NLS to DACA to Advance Parole to AOS. Got an RFE for extra tax info before the interview. No lawyer used. For the interview, brought condensed evidence rather than a large stack of documents to keep the process moving. Interview happened right after a new USCIS memo came out; questions were basic. I-130 approved first, I-485 approved about 6 weeks after the interview.

Bring condensed, focused evidence rather than throwing a lot of documents at the officer - it can slow down the process.
