No decision or receive anything after well interview!

[American1Dream 6]

Hello, I am writing to share my experiences.

My husband is the one applying for a green card.

Interview date: 04/16/2015

Location: St Louis, MO

We arrived there a little bit early, however, we only needed to wait for 10 mins before the interview called my last name. She's old (late 50s) and mean. She took us to her room, requested us to show my husband passport and my ID, and ask us swearing to tell the truth and only truth. Because of getting flu so she asked us to sit far close to the wall (about 3 feets from her desk). Then, she asked some kinds of basic questions:

1. How did you meet?

2. After the 1st meet, then what did you do next?

3. Do you see your wife's parent often?

4. What's your address now?

5. How did you get marriage?

6. Did you travel a lot?

That is all, then, she use her "stamp-box" to stamp on the yellow paper (which she used to write down everything we said) and also the I-864 form, I-485 form. Next, she explained to us about the GC condition and how important to renew it before it expires. She asked us to signed on the paper which confirmed we had heard and understand the GC condition. Then she stamped on that paper. Then, she asked my husband YES/NO question on I-485 form. After that, she asked us about the evidences. We gave her:

1. Joint bank accounts (2 different bank)

2. Auto insurance

3. Air tickets, hotel reservation, movie ticket, shows ticket.

4. Pictures. She laughed when she saw the picture that I look funny when I drew a bunny on my husband's face when he slept. She took random picture and ask us where was that. That's it. She quickly glanced to other evidences and she said everything look OK now. We asked if our case was approved. She said: "I did not say anything about the approve but you will receive my decision and the status update in two weeks." And then she escorted us to the waiting room with a big smile and call other people. The interview took only 15 mins, relaxed and painless.

Note: My husband I-94 is electronic so he just printed it out from the CPB site but she kept the copy of it. Besides that, she did not give us any letter or paper state that our case is being held and under review liked other people. We believe that the interview was really well because all the answers were cleared and she looked satisfied with our answer, she even made a joke on some of them.

My question is: what do you think about our interview? is it normal without receiving the "interview's result" paper after the interview? We are kind of worried because most of the people get approved on spot or the same day. Till now, nothing is updated from USCIS site.

We had a very similar case on 4/13 in the Boston office. No closure, and still no update on our case and the officer said the decision will be mailed to us in 30-60 days...

Should we try to make an infopass? I am kind of worried about it, USCIS rarely make it on time, right?

[florist 4]

We called the USCIS yesterday and they said they know as much as we do. It totally depends on the field office I guess. We will get an infopass if don't hear anything by Tuesday. May I ask what your timeline is and for how long you have been married?

[American1Dream 6]

Sorry for not giving you enough information. I already include my timeline in my signature! Would you mind telling me what did USCIS hotline said? I think the best way is making an infopass because your case is in the local field right now. You should make infopass right now in acse of full slot or not available day.

[Starkilla09 366]

At this point you have no choice but to wait. Not everyone gets approved on same day but from the looks of it your interview seemed pretty normal. Just keep fingers crossed, you might get that status change to card production days, a week or even several weeks from now. It might just need a review with s supervisor before final approval which seems to be quite common. Just do an info pass if it stay past 120 days post interview though.

Same situation here. Had interview on the 20th of this month and he ask how we met and that was it. He said he seen that we already have an approved i130 and I said yes that we had our interview for i130 last June. He asked for my passport,I'd,drivers licese and ask for my wife's too. He started typing and he left to go make copies of all my document. He said so I have been arrested and I said yes. He ask for what? I said for domestic battery. He ask if I have the final disposition of the case and I said yes and handed it over to him. Just so you know the case was dismiss because I was innocent. He then proceeded with the yes and no questions and also asked if I am working and I said yes. Then he had me and my wife sign a paper to show that we attended the interview and said if we have any document we would like to show him and I said yes and gave me our recent lease and bank statement and utility bills. I told him I forget our car insurance card in the car and he said its fine. Then he said we have submitted enough and that he can not make a decision that he needs to review my file. He gave us a paper that said case continue for further review. My lawyer ask how long and he said about 2weeks. Till today my satus still says interview scheduled and I am beginning to worry and just to let you know I have been married for almost 3 years. In July it will be 3 years and I did not apply for i485 until now. So am hopefully ing if approved I will be giving a permanent green card.

You are luckier than me that your I-130 has been approved, mine doesn't. Besides that, I think you have lawyer so he can get involve if you don't hear anything from them after 2 weeks. I don't have any lawyer or attorney so....... Deal with USCIS is dealing with "waiting game"

I will also chime in so you know you are not alone. Similar situation here. Interview also on April 16. However, we did not sign anything, and we did not get the "held for further review" paper. Not sure if that is something to worry about. We did get the conditional green card instructions though. She took my old EAD, I kept current one. She said something about 6 - 8 weeks, and that she will "recommend" us. Everything seems very vague, so it is a little frustrating to just be waiting once again. We needed to buy plane tickets and make travel arrangements now for a visit to my family in June, but it seems like we will have to kiss that visit goodbye. Good luck to you, this waiting will be over soon.

Hi guys! Some update here:

We got an infopass appointment and went in today. The infopass officer was very nice and friendly. He said the fact that the interview was short is a good sign, but probably a supervisor should review our case and make a decision which may take 30-90 days! He said we should check in again if do not hear back anything within a month...

fingers crossed...
