6 weeks since AOS Interview and no news from USCIS

[julita26 12]

I've seen some old posts about this, but was wondering if anyone has any recent experience with this issue. Is anyone that completed their AOS interview STILL waiting for any decision activity/the card itself? I've posted about our AOS from K1 visa interview back on July 18. It went well, no red flags, IO said he was going to approve us but that the computer system was down so he couldn't put the decision in that day. He spent the rest of the interview talking to us about the ROC and citizenship process.

Hearing nothing, at three weeks, we made an InfoPass appointment at our field office. They hadn't seen any status change in the system and basically had no new information for us. They told us that officers have 60 days from interview to make a decision, so to come back if we didn't hear anything by then. Supposedly they sent a message to our officer about our case. In the meantime, we travelled together on her AP and came back into the country with no issues, but now it's September 1 and still--nothing. No online status change (that didn't even change when our interview was scheduled), no letter, nothing. And I know it's still within the 60 day window, but we're just discouraged/frustrated at yet another wait and having to hassle USCIS to do their jobs when we've done everything asked of us. Any one else in a similar situation and want to commiserate? Any advice to give?

Hi,

Same here. It's been 1 month since the interview. We were verbally approved but never received official approval. Still waiting.

This is our 4th month and still no update or response! I even emailed an inquiry and no one got back to me. Just opened ans infopass today, keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!

We interviewed on June 30. For some reason, the officer didn't have our full case, but we went through and hoped it would be brought to her during the interview - it wasn't. We weren't given a determination at the end of the interview, but were told we'd receive an answer in about 6 weeks or sooner. At the end of August, we still had nothing but had started trying to make contact at the 4-week mark. Spoke to a Tier 2 on a call and were told the case was being reviewed and to try again at the 6-week mark. On September 1st, we managed to get an InfoPass appointment for the 7th. Last night, we got an electronic update stating that our case had been approved on September 2nd, and to expect the approval notice in the mail. So, chanced cancelling today's InfoPass appointment and are waiting for the approval notice; hopefully, soon followed by the green card. If we don't have anything by next week, we plan to schedule another appointment.

Calling, even speaking to Tier 2, wasn't really helpful. Definitely try for an InfoPass appointment. It seems, for us, that at least triggered someone to pull our case and take a look at it.

4 months? Ugh, that's so frustrating. I hope the InfoPass is helpful for you!

What a relief you got the approval update! Congratulations. Yes, I had heard that sometimes they don't have the full case when they scheduled the interview. In our case, the interviewer definitely had a file with our information in it. Unfortunately the InfoPass appointment we went to didn't tell us anything except that our case is still pending with the officer. > I had debated scheduling another appointment (which requires us to miss class and work to drive down) versus calling, but my experience with Tier 2 officers and service requests hasn't been terribly helpful, either.

Do any of you guys have any news about the case?

 

I/m in the same boat since I had the interview on december 9, but still no decision.

We are STILL waiting! 8 months post interview at this point. We have spoken to them numerous times and have opened two infopass appointments only to be told everything is fine and it takes time even though we are way past the normal processing time. We spoke to tier 2 last week again and were told that our paperwork is at the final approval stage and if we don't hear anything back in 2 weeks to give them a call...again. Needless to say we are beyond frustrated!  I have even consulted and attorney and was told that there is nothing they can do at this point. Chicago office is a hot mess!
