AOS Interview today but not approved :(

[castillo007 0]

Hello VJ folks. My wife and I attended our AOS interview today at the Detroit USICS Office and we were not approved. We provided the officer the following evidences to the interview; our wedding album, an additional album with random photos before and after the wedding, a letter from the bank stating when we opened our bank account together and information about our debit cards, a notarized sworn affidavit from my mother-in-law stating how she met me and confirming that our marriage is legit, and 4 copies of our personal correspondence. She asked us about our bank statements but we opened our bank account 5 days before the interview and we have not received any bank statement yet. She checked the pictures really quick and then asked the both of us the basic questions like how you met? we met online on a Yahoo chat room 2 years ago, how you became a couple? we gave a brief explanation, when you first met in person? on august 6th 2011, Where did you stay after your arrival to the united states? at my wife's place, etc. Then we went through the standard questions of form I-485 which all answers were no and finally she said that we cant get aprroved today because she's got to make some background checks in order to approve our application and that they will inform us via mail about the final decision or whether they need something else from us. However, at the end of the interview she was explaining to me how to remove my conditions before my 2 year green card expires and then we both signed a paper about the conditional green card. The interview lasted about 20 to 30 minutes. We are confused and worried because the officer returned my passport and I-94 with no stamp or highlights at all. Does this mean we would probably have a stokes interview? Or would they ask for further evidence? We would really appreciate your help and advice guys. Thanks in advance.

This happens regularly. Not everyone is approved on the spot at their interview. They sometimes need more time to look over everything before having it approved, or need a supervisor to approve it for them. Keep an eye on your online status. It could change to approval before you receive anything in the mail.

Same thing happened to us. Next day, our status was changed to approved on the website. Everything sounds OK for you.

As stated by both persons that responded, many interviews are not approved on the spot and right after that they receive the card production email. They were explaining the process to you so that sounds good to me. Did you take the bank letter that you received as proof of your joint account?

Hey guys I just checked my case status online for my I-485 form and it says that they have ordered the card production today March 14th 2012 and that I will receive it within 30 days via mail. Does that means that we were just approved?

Yeah we took the letter with us. It seems she wanted a bank statement but again she saw about 200 photos of us, we showed her a sworn affidavit from my mother-in-law and some personal correspondence from both us. The approved the green card few mins ago though!

Oh come on! I was soo scared reading this! Its sad when I see fellow VJ members panic about not getting approved. Its common. Most are not approved on the spot. They may feel like they need to look into it more, and then bam! You get aproved. No worries. Oh just reading through now, I see you got approved! CONGRATS!!!!!!

Congrats,

In such a short time it is not likely that they got any new information to cause the approve. I wonder if something like the short time bank account required a simple supervisors approval.
