Weird wording of Interview Results

[Bjh 39]

Hey everyone

Wife and I did our interview today, the officer told us he would approve our application and suspects nothing is wrong with our marriage. We got married Feb 1st 2020, so we've been married <2 years, and so any green card would be conditional. He says my wife should receive her green card in the mail in 4-6 weeks. However, he also gave us a sheet that reads:

 

"NOTICE OF INTERVIEW RESULTS. You have just completed your interview. USCIS is unable to complete your case at this time. Your case is being continued until a final decision can be made. Please see below for further explanation:"

 

"Your case is being held for review. At this time, USCIS does not require any further information or documents from you. Should further information or documents be required, you will receive a notice in the mail. We may also schedule you for another interview, you will receive a notice in the mail. Otherwise, a final decision will be mailed once your case is complete."

 

Is this what they say when your green card is conditional?? Or is this what everyone with an approved green card gets?

I did not receive this notice after my AOS interview (every office seems to do things a bit differently), but it is totally normal to not have an official approval right after the interview. Most of the time it is just because the interviewing officer is not authorized to approve you on the spot, so a supervisor has to sign off on it.

 

At the end of my interview, the officer told me that she saw no reason not to approve me, and that I would hear from the soon. The next day, I got a notification that I was approved.

 

It sounds like you will be approved, so just relax and try to be patient!

Some offices won’t approve on the spot so this is a standard response.  
 

Some people with that response get approved later that day, some get approved days later.  Some weeks later.  Some even later.  
 

We were approved a couple weeks later.  The date of issue of the green card was dated back to the interview.  
 

Just check the status each day. After a month leave it be for 90 days.

Hey, It's standard because they mostly can't approve on the spot. I got the same letter after my interview and received my documents in the mail within 3 weeks. Relax. The hard part is over! Congratulations!
