Hi everybody.

My husband and I went to the interview today, I guess it went well but the agent told us that we will be notified within 60 days. Usually they are supposed to say it right away (at least I heard of some cases like this). It is a "bad" sign ?

Thanks

No it's not a bad sign as long as your interview went well. Not all interviewed are approved on the spot. It's very common for USCIS officer's supervisor to review applications post interview to finalize things. It's just a waiting game now which could take several days, weeks or even months. USCIS has 120 days post interview by law to adjudicate your petition so if yours is still pending by then, use your local congressman/senator to push an inquiry. Good luck! Edited by Starkilla09

Story of my almost 3 years long pending AOS - click below for details

Spoiler

2015

  • March 10 2015 - USCIS received i-130/i-485
  • March 30 2015 - got a RFE saying that my husband cannot be my sponsor because of his income, which is not true, but we didn't know what to do so we hired a lawyer.
  • August 10 2015 - interview (went great, by the way). Were told to wait 120 days.
  • December 10 2015, April 10 2016, May 10 2016 - sent SR, responses: "your case is pending"

2016

  • May 25 2016 - Went to Info Pass, the case is taken to the supervisor, were told we will get something in 30 days (of course, after 30 days we got nothing....).
  • June 27 2016 - Went to Info Pass again, they told us to wait for 2 more weeks and if we still get nothing send a service request letter by mail. Did it on the same day.
  • June 27 2016 - After Infopass, went to senator Durbin office in Chicago.
  • July 8 2016 - Went to Mike Quigley office.
  • July 8 2016 - Received useless response from Durbin. All they know is that the case is pending and it's in Chicago, can't do anything else.
  • July 12 2016: Infopass, spoke to the supervisor, promises promises.... more wait.
  • July 17 2016: Filed Ombudsman.
  • July 26 2016: Another info pass, same story. We talked to 3 supervisors already! I don't get it!
  • July 29 2016: Sent another useless SR just because.
  • Aug 9 2016: Talked to the officer we had interview with! She was supposed to mail us RFE a year ago but she forgot (!!!) ! They admitted it. Gave us RFE.
  • October 11 2016: Response to RFE is received by uscis (the RFE was ridiculous. Basically all same papers we ALREADY GAVE HER at the interview: bank statements, lease, etc).
  • October 20 2016: Infopass, useless, did not have time to wait for the supervisor.
  • November 9 2016: Infopass, talked to the supervisor, he said there are no problems with our case and he will make sure the officer will make a decision within a few days. Gave us his email and phone number, told us to contact him directly instead of going to info pass.
  • November 15 2016: emailed the supervisor, since a few days have passed and still no decision. No response.
  • November 17 2016: called the supervisor, no answer.
  • November 17 2016: sent Service Request about i-130 (Lol, like that will help..)
  • November 19 2016: sent a letter to the director of Chicago Field Office.
  • November 22 2016: sent Service Request about i-485 (Lol[2])
  • November 23 2016: talked to the supervisor again to learn that..........my medical and fingerprints have expired and i need to wait for a notice to do it all again.
  • November 25 2016: The response from the Field Office Director Martha Medina-Maltes: your case is pending and every effort is being made blah blah blah
  • December 5 2016: Received a response to i-485 SR that my case is "pending supervisor review"... absolutely random since the supervisor said i'll need redo my medical and fingerprints again.
  • December 19 2016: Went to USCIS, the officer came out and told me we need to come back for a 2nd interview!!! I'm shocked because our marriage is 100% real and i can't believe they have doubts about it! But i'm glad that it's at least something.
  • December 27: 2nd interview (Strokes). Reason: i-130 petition. We did fine but the officer said we will receive a NOID! Our lawyer said it must be something else, not our answers... but what?!

2017

  • Jan 23 - infopass, asked if anything was mailed regarding i-130. Were told that nothing was.
  • Jan 27 - sent a service request regarding I-130.
  • March 1 2017 - went to uscis (no info pass), our officer's supervisor finally gave us the noid full of nitpicking and lies, that shows that they do not pay attention to anything. 
  • March 10 2017 - 2 years AOS anniversary...wow. 
  • March 31 - The response to the noid is received by uscis!
  • June 1st - went to the office, the supervisor promised we will get the decision in 4-6 weeks.
  • July 19 - 7 weeks passed, went back to uscis. The supervisor said he will give the case to the officer tomorrow, we asked when we will get the decision, he said he doesn't know. 
  • September 6: My husband talked to the supervisor again, he said he gave the case to the other officer, and the case is huge so the officer has a lot to do, and we will get a decision in 2 weeks. 
  • September 25: Went back since no decision was received (as expected). The supervisor said the same thing: we will get a decision in 2 weeks
  • September 29: USCIS asked for medical! Eureka! First time in 2 and a half years they sent something by themselves! :wacko: i-130 still not approved.
  • October 2: Notice that i-130 is approved (notice date September 26, still no online update). Also went to get medical done (should be ready by the end of the week)
  • October 3:  biometrics
  • October 10: medical delivered to uscis! The waiting games begins again :wacko:
  • December 11: 2 months after medical was delivered talked to the supervisor again, he said the decision will be made BY tomorrow and we will find out from the website on Wednesday. 
  • December 14: Called uscis, tier 2 officer told me that the case is approved.
  • December 18: Received Approval notice (Dated December 12)

 

Long story short:
After the initial interview we received:

1) a RFE asking for the same papers again,

2) then were asked to come to the 2nd interview that went fine of course, 

3) then a NOID that was full of mistakes.

All that was given to us in person, only when we made our way straight to our officer. And still waiting. Lots of fun (not).

4) 6 months after receiving our response to the noid i-130 is approved. 2 years 6 months and 16 days of waiting for i-130. Supposed to take 5 months. No words.

5) After 2 years 9 months and 2 days (or 1008 days) of waiting i-485 is approved.

Are there a lot of cases rejected ? Do you know what happens in this case ? I am so confuse. I have a co sponsor, my husband and me are crazy in love and the agent even joked with us....

Thanks god, no. Most of the people who's case wasn't approved within a few days got their green cards within 6 months or less, some had to wait longer, but i don't know why it takes so long sometimes.

I remember one case i read about when two officers showed up in the couple's apartment a few months after their interview, and i remember another one getting a second interview notice, but i don't remember anyone being denied after a long wait.

I heard that most of the time it depends on the officer who your case was assigned to. Our interview went very well too and our marriage is 10000% legitimate and we had tons of pictures from travel (we have been together for a few years and took a few trips) and with family members, joint accounts and so on, in my opinion its really weird that we are still waiting to be approved... :(

Oh well. I just keep telling myself that everything is for the best.

Hi everybody.

My husband and I went to the interview today, I guess it went well but the agent told us that we will be notified within 60 days. Usually they are supposed to say it right away (at least I heard of some cases like this). It is a "bad" sign ?

Thanks

I had my interview last Monday Oct 5th and it went well but my case is being held for review and 4 days after got a letter saying that they need our certified marriage certificate. I Just received my copy today and my attorney will mail it same day Friday by fedex. Hopefully we will hear some good news. Fingers cross.

Could you please scan and post (with your name blacked out) the letter requesting your marriage certificate?

Thanks

Yes there is. U have a souvenir blue marriage certificate and a certified white marriage certificate that is recorder in the county. We provided our souvenir blue marriage certificate which was not official and I didn't know so I had to get a copy from the county that has a barcode on the top corner of the certified copy. U will know a different between a souvenir and a certified marriage certificate. My I/O was right she said our certificate is souvenir and she showed us how a certified marriage certificate looks like with the barcode on the top corner with the seal on it.

I couldn't scan it. But My letter says provide a official copy of my marriage certificate. The marriage certificate I previously submitted is not a official copy. I already got the official and i mailed it today.

U will know a different between a souvenir and a certified marriage certificate. My I/O was right she said our certificate is souvenir and she showed us how a certified marriage certificate looks like with the barcode on the top corner with the seal on it.

I couldn't scan it. But My letter says provide a official copy of my marriage certificate. The marriage certificate I previously submitted is not a official copy. I already got the official and i mailed it today.

Yes, I understand difference between what you call souvenir and official.

But beyond that, you are getting lost in the semantics.

They want to see the official marriage certificate.

Certified copy means that someone makes a copy of an original and then certifies that it is a true copy.

Such certified copies are not required.

A simple photo copy of the official document is what must be submitted with AOS packages.

Yes u are right I mean the official not certified copy. (Silly me)?

I didn't have the official just the souvenir copy but I finally got my official copy and mail it ASAP. Now it's just the waiting game for me.
