Interview done today no decision

[Thandeka 1]

 did my interview today. The officer didn’t ask for any of my documentation didn't ask for any new evidence because he said that uploaded more than enough when we filed didn't asked me any questions and said he need to speak to supervisor regarding our application so he couldn’t give me an answer yet, just wondering how long after an interview before you get a decision

Legally USCIS has 120 days after the interview to give you decision.

 

If you don't hear within that time range, you can sue USCIS for decision (Writ of Mandamus).

 

Besides that, typically you'd get a decision within few days / weeks after the interview, unless you have a complicated case.

Having a case reviewed by a supervisor is common.  Back when my wife and I did our AOS interview we went through the same thing, and we heard back in a couple days.  What was the overall tenor of the interview?  If positive, I would expect you would hear back soon.

 

Good Luck!

Really difficult to say, he had zero interest in looking at any of my documents, he basically looked at his computer all the way through and would ask a question here and there.

Were you asked the 6 civics questions necessary to be approved?

 

Officers don't need to look at new stuff if you provided everything upfront, I brought a lot with me and only one document was taken. With luck in a few days you will get an answer

There are 100 questions you need to study. There's 10 asked. Usually interviewer stops if you get 6 right.

 

Questions like "We elect a President for how many years?"

I'm pretty sure this post is about AOS, not naturalization

We're in this boat with you.

Interview on 8/8 went fine, as far as I can tell.  There was a kind of weird vibe from one of the two officers in the room, but they were cordial and I was kind of nervous so there's that.... they took all of the photos I brought with us (we hadn't submitted any prior to that) and they wanted copies of my husband's school records - he arrived on a student visa originally, graduated his program as valedictorian with a 4.0, we met after he was done with school and working on an EAD connected with his degree.  So we gave them that, and copies of other things like the letter acknowledging he is now the beneficiary of my 401K, and the credit card account we share, stuff like that.  It wasn't easy to prove comingling finances because we live primarily on a cash basis, between the two of us we have about three credit cards, and we haven't decided yet what to do with his house in a town about 3 hours from my place where we are living together now (sell it? keep it and rent it out? just keep it as a weekend getaway? who knows, shouldn't matter anyway).  They barely looked at me anyway, I got two questions: "how did you guys meet?" and "when and where did you get married?"  They asked him several, read off all the "are you a terrorist?" questions and had him answer again, and asked him about his divorce and had he met my family? (yes.)  I knew that it was a distinct possibility we wouldn't get a decision that day, and sure enough we got a letter saying "we will notify you once we make a decision."  They put in a request for his school records (we didn't have all of them with us, just the transcript), but by the time we had lunch and got back home, they had cancelled the request for evidence (USCIS website status said "RFE cancelled").  No news yet on the decision, but we are still looking for an approval.  We married for love and we are not trying to do anything shady, whatever they want to see they can have. It's only been 4 1/2 months since we filed, so we know there could be a lot more waiting to come - if they abide by the 120 day thing, we're looking at a celebration between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Just carrying on with normal life until then.
