So I had my interview today and I believe it went well but I want other opinions! As soon as I was called I was asked where my husband was so I told him he was on deployment , the guy said okay do you have any proof? I said yes as my husband had sent me a letter from his command saying he was on deployment . The guy took the letter and left me alone in the office. He came back and said they couldn't accept the letter, they needed his orders. I said okay and he told me he was still going through with the interview. He asked me questions which I answered and asked for proof of a relationship so I showed him pictures, joint bank accounts, rental agreements, utilities, even my wedding video and also a picture of my tattoo of my husband's name. I was attempting to show him more because I had so much stuff but he said he had seen enough. He took all my pictures, utility bills and joint bank account paper, he could've took more but that's what I saw. He said he was going to send me a request for more evidence because he couldn't make a decision until he had my husbands orders, once I receive that letter I have 90 days to submit his orders which is a hardship it itself because it's classified information but my husband is seeing what he can do but based on the fact he is only waiting on orders it's a good thing? Do you think I'm gonna be approved once I send in my husbands orders?

make sure you respond to the RFE in a timely manner, the sooner they receive your response, the sooner they will process your case. I think you should be fine, I don't see why you wouldn't be approved.

Best of luck

None of us can really give you a well-informed answer to that, so the best you're going to get is guesses based on what you've told us and how it compares to our own experiences and what we've read here and elsewhere.

That said, it sounds like the interview went well. Our interviewer also said that she'd seen enough after looking at less than half of the evidence we brought, and she kept bank statements, bills etc for the file. Better to have too much evidence than too little :)

The fact that your IO said that he couldn't make a decision until he'd seen your husband's orders would make me think that he believes your marriage is genuine, but needs a copy of the orders for the file before he can issue an approval. That's a bit surprising, since the only info I can find on the USCIS site says "USCIS will conduct your Adjustment of Status interview without the presence of your military spouse (the petitioner) if he or she is currently deployed. At your interview, you should bring evidence of your spouse’s military assignment abroad, such as a photocopy of the official orders or a letter from your spouse’s commanding officer.",and you brought a letter, but that page is archived and perhaps there has been a policy change? Or perhaps the letter omitted a piece of necessary information that would be in the orders (I have no idea what that might be)?

Nothing that you mention in your interview description sounds like a reason to worry. Wait for the RFE for the orders, respond to it as promptly as you can, and I think you'll be fine.

Eighteen years in the US and I still don't understand Velveeta, TV ads for prescription drugs, only getting 2 weeks paid vacation, or why anyone believes anything they see on Fox "News".

Hello there! Nice to see another Brit filer! In my opinion (which is all it is) you should be absolutely fine as long as you submit your husband's orders in time. Try to be as punctual as you can and be prepared for the possibility of another interview. If all of your info is genuine and you do have a valid marriage, you have absolutely no reason to worry. In all the time i've been doing this process, it seems that Brits have very little problem with immigration (as it should be! :P)

From the time we submitted our forms till AOS approval (112 days).
