Hello , we just had our interview March 20 and when we got home our status online changed to " Interview completed and case must be reviewed " it's already 3 weeks .Yours took how long ? What's the outcome ? Kindly reply 

Hello.  Well, our case needed to be reviewed because I (the U.S. citizen) did not bring an original of my birth certificate to the interview.  Of course, we did not know that was the reason until we received a letter via post saying that was the reason for the case not being approved.  And in that week we thought about all of the reasons why they might be denying my Syrian husband status.  Duh!  So after I sent in my birth certificate original (which took about 3-4 days for me to get and then send on), then 7-10 days after that his AOS was approved.   I hope that the reason that your case is being reviewed is as simple as ours was.

Hi guys,

 

Congratulations to all of those who have finished with the process (for now)! 

I filed my AOS on the 28th of July 2016, here in Michigan. Had an RFIE, which my response to was received in early September last year. Nothing has changed since the update to tell me they had received my RFIE response, so called today and was told that the Detroit field office is still working on early July filers as of the end of March, and it'll be another 3 weeks before I hear anything. Sigh.

 

Hopefully this part of the journey ends happily soon! And good luck to anyone else out there who is still waiting!

Give it two weeks, once it says card mailed it would take 6 days.  Congratulations.

Hi all, 

We just got back from our Interview at Denver and our case is approved on the spot. The interview was very easy and smooth since we have a very long relationship and we are current having a baby boy. Finally I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck to all fellow July filers. See you guys all in the next 2 years. Thanks

Congrats and good luck for your upcoming interview. 

Hey all,

 

my interview was this morning and I'm a little confused about everything.

 

We got asked a lot of questions about how we met, when we started dating, parents and sibling names, past jobs and present jobs, who attended the wedding, how he proposed, if I got an engagement ring and other basic questions, nothing tricky.

We answered all these questions with no problem.

She also asked my husband (who's American) when was the last time I left the country and for how long and unfortunately he got both answers wrong, I guess he was nervous and didn't really took the time to think about it.

 

She took a few seconds only to look at the pictures I brought but didn't really showed interest in any of them.

 

she got annoyed when we both answered questions, and told us things like "im asking you" or "let her answer"

 

She asked why we don't have a copy of the lease or tax return, which I had to point to her that she was literally holding them in her hands but her desk was so messy, she wasn't really looking at the documents we brought (plane tickets to vacations we took together 3 years ago for example)

 

We are both 28 and we don't owe anything (car or anything valuable) and she made it seemed weird we don't own stuff together.

we don't have a joint bank account because we never needed one and that's definitely seemed like a red flag.

she said it looks suspicious and that if we don't trust each other enough to share our money maybe our marriage isn't real, which I completely disagree with! It has nothing to do with trust! We just don't have the need for one yet and will probably end up having one when we start a family.

She then asked my husband how much I have in my bank account and he said the truth, that he doesn't know for sure, and again she made it seemed like it was something weird, and asked him "so you don't care and you guys don't talk about money?"

 

the whole end of the interview was about money which was pretty frustrating to me. 

 

at the end she made some copies of a few pictures and that's when she actually started looking at them. Her face changed a little and she relaxed and then said she needs to review the case and that we would get an update later (when, I have no clue) and that if I do get a green card it would only be for 2 years, etc

 

im very afraid that this joint bank account can be the reason why we're denied, and I'm very nervous at the moment and frustrated we couldn't talk about other things (like all the birthdays and trips we took together)

 

she kept our tax return and gave me back the copies (I noticed it once we left) she was so messy she mixed all the originals and copies...

 

anyone else had a similar experience?

how long do you think I'll have to wait to get an update?
