Hi Guys!

I had my AOS interview in Philadelphia on 11/9. The interview went very well and the officer was very nice. However contrary to what we were hoping for, at the end she told us we will hear about the decision by mail in 30 days (she told us very nicely about it but didn't give us any other feelers) . That was kinda bummer because I have been reading on this forum how most people get their decision at the end of the interview. My question is that is there anyone else who recently interviewed in Philly and had the same experience? If so, how long did it take for the decision to come (today marks 3 weeks and yet no notice :/ )? Should I be concerned? I was really hoping to have my GC by now and traveling back home for the holidays sigh.

Looking forward to some input!!

Autum.

Same boat, however, my interview was November 4 2016 in Los Angeles. It went well but I was given a further review paper. I485 online still says "interview scheduled" and I130 says it's been received.

I guess it's just a matter of luck :/
