My interview experience , a bit confused about decision.

[Traveler101 16]

Hi guys,

Today we had our interview at Hartford,CT office. Our interview (my husband is USC) was at 11am but were called in at somewhere 11.20. The interview took around 1 and a half. The immigration officer looked nice and professional and walked us to the room. He asked for original birth certificates, passports, marriage certificate. Then he asked for a proof of a relationship. I handed him our photo album, bank account statements since we live with my parents in-low and both don't work we have no bills to pay therefore no utilities bills with our names. He looked through ALL 265 pics in the album and asked questions about who is in pics , some comments and said that he would take some pics for the file, which is fine. Then he looked at our bank statements and asked where we get money from since we dont work. So we said that while my husband is looking for a job now he sold his car and I babysit and doggiesit sometimes. The ISO was or not in a good mood or I dont know. Because anytime we made some jokes or tried to loosen up he would just look at us like we were in interrogation room and there is no room for laugh. After that began the worst. He started questioning my husband. What his full name, my full name, where he lives, where he lived before, where he works. Next question was about his previous marriages. Unfortunately this is his 3d marriage. His 2nd wife also applied for GC and got it in 2009. So the officer started going into all details about his previous marriages, dates , when married when separated, when got divorced. All tiny details. My husband was thinking so hard about dates because who remembers dates that happened 10 years ago. But the officer was so meticulous. I think this what brought a red flag. Then he started questioning me(beneficiary). It all went smooth. Few questions like DOB, address, names of parents mine and his and standard questions about terrorism and communism( which stopped when I was born). After that he took our file and photoalbum and said He would make copies I said I had all copies I could give him but he refused to take by giving me some excuse. While the officer was gone like 10 mins we giggled, talked, almost fell asleep and he returned. He said he doesnt give any decision right now and we should expect it in the mail. Then my husband in a friendly way asked about is it approved or not because we are waiting to get our tickets for our finally honeymoon( but again the officer was like a sourpus and said he cant say anything and we would expect in the mail). After that he handed me a white paper stating like he said just a confirmation that we came to the interview.

The name of the letter is Notice of Interview Results and he checked a box : Your case is being held for review. At this time, USCIS does not require any further info or docs from you. Should further info or docs be required, you will receive a notice in the mail . We may also schedule you for another interview; you will receive a notice in the mail. Otherwise, a final decision will be mailed once your file is complete.

Can somebody tell me if I have to worry about smth?

Sorry guys for a long story

Well, it sorta smells like either:

1. The A-File was not on the IO's desk or

2. There's a local rule or office practice requiring supervisor review before approval can be given

or both.

I say wait 30 days.
