I hope so too!!! It makes me little bit less anxious knowing that it is not just my case that is waiting.

I felt so confident after the interview as the lady made it sound as I did so well. And then I read how someone has their status changed right after interview!! 😯 I guess these kind of things happen and I just need to be patient. Good luck with your case, I am sure that the good news will soon follow! ❤️🥰

I did,too because the interviewer lady said that all would be okay and she did not want to  give me any worries. However, every others status changed to "new card is being produced" after interview and it means to get a physical green card   

Okay let's be patient!! Good luck with your case as well. Thanks. We will get approval notice soon !!!!

Don't worry. The Interviewer has no reason to be positive and then for it not to be approved. 

Also, I'm pretty sure everyone who is denied knows it by the interview.

 

Lastly, it is clear that USCIS is not really tech savvy. So nothing surprises me in terms of notifications or not. Not to say i don't worry, but still, we all need to back away from the ledge:-)

My wife doesn’t recall that being asked on the form. Are you sure it’s the W-4? 

Oh it wasn't on the form itself, it was just an instruction that If I am a nonresident alien, I cannot file married-filing jointly, only married - filing separately. But I have found answers that I am technically a resident alien since I am married to a USC.

My husband's interview was today. We showed up at 8:50 to our 9:15 appointment and was given a number. They called two couples ahead of us that got there after us, so I started panicking that we missed our number or something. They split one couple up. But our number was finally called and our officer took us back to her office. She had notes written down from his file, so I think she went through everything. We swore in and I actually didn't know what to say so I had to let my husband say something first so I didn't look stupid lol. She confirmed some information in our paperwork and asked him all the yes/no questions. She looked at our birth certificates and marriage certificate but didn't ask for any copies. She then asked us

 

When we first met

Describe our relationship progression

When did we start talking about marriage

Describe the proposal 

Describe the wedding 

Who all we had from our family there 

What our most cherished moment was from the wedding

Any trips we've been on since he's moved here

 

Then she told us to give her any proof of relationship we had. We only had a bunch of photos and our car insurance letter since he doesn't have a SSN and my small town requires that for everything and we live with my mom so everything is in her name (which we explained to her). Then she asked us if we had any questions and I gave her a copy of the IRS transcript for my joint sponsor (because I only sent in the H&R block version since I didn't know you could print it directly from their website). She then said we'd hear the decision in 2-3 weeks but everything looked good from her end. Kinda bummed we didn't get the approval at the interview but we hope to hear something soon.

Anyone that is after the interview, was recommended for approval, didn't miss any paperwork but still waiting for the status to change to approval? I had my interview 2 weeks ago and I'm aware that there is some process to be done and they have 180 days to approve but I'm getting anxious. 

i am surprised at this considering our experience at the same office, they seemed pretty quick and on top of things

hopefully you wont have to wait much longer. sending good vibes your way

Successful interview in Raleigh, NC yesterday. We were in and out within an hour. Didn’t get that satisfying ‘approved’ at the interview but got a status update of ‘new card being produced’ about 20 mins after leaving and got ‘case approved’ update this morning. Officer very friendly, just asked questions from I-485 to confirm names, dates and how we met etc. Good luck to all still waiting!

Congrats everyone! We also had a successful interview yesterday. It was really quick. We were asked for a rough timeline of when we met and then the laundry list of "have you ever" questions from the initial AOS forms. He let us know he would approve us, and the status changed about an hour later.
