My husband I-130 was approved on May 2013 , and he have to went back to Guangzhou for interview on May 30 2018 . When  interview officer said he's out of state on 2001 , but he said he never out of state. Officer said will check for that again and she kept his passport .after one week, he received email that he have to submit his few  years ago trial court document, and on June 15 he already submit the document .

Its been 1 month since his interview he still havent get his paspor and visa . I heard other people only neef two weeks already get visa .  How long he have to wait? Is there anyway to check his visa status ? 

If guangzhou embassy kept his passport after interview is that means he will granted for his visa ? Because his parents so worry he wont be able come back to the state , but i told them if his case denied than he will get back his passport on the interview day .

Taking the passport is normally a good sign, but certainly doesn’t guarantee the visa will be issued. They are verifying information...you just need to wait it out.
