Hello. My husband And I had our interview on June 26, 2018. Interview went well. Officer said we should receive an answer soon. On the 26 I got email notification that my card was being produced. Then on the 27th it said approved and senconds later it changed to “your case has been reopened, we are considering our previous decision “ I was so happy and then this happened. Can someone explain pleasee

Wait a week to see if your card actually arrives. If not, then make an Infopass appointment.

This happens sometimes from what I understand. The officer who conducted the Interview approved your I-485 indeed, then a day or two later a higher ranking officer will validate the action and will notice that there is something missing, most likely background check. You should receive a reopening notice or other action notice. This might be short time issue and it could go on for sometimes. Just wait and see what they will send you...

But hope this is only a problem and issue or glitch with the case online and  your receive your Green Card soon.

Thank you so much! Saturday I received the approval for the I-130 and I-485 and today Monday I received the letter saying they reopened the case if they needed more information they will let me know. I just want this to be over already 🙁 thank you so much for your replies. I will keep you updated

I made an info pass for the 16th of this month just in case. It is really hard to get an info pass so I went ahead of time if anything I will cancel it

By the way, when we went for AOS interview on June  9th, my wife was asked to submit a new Medical Exam which we did five days later. But what was interesting he said your case is approved pending back ground check that take 45 days. Well, 16 days later my wife receive her green card. 

I know this different in your case, but wanted to mention this background check and why they would still have to do it after submitting the AOS and waiting for so long for the interview to be told they still will do background check.

 

By the way, just keep checking your case online for any changes...I noticed that Fridays are the days they do most updates.
