okay. so me and my husband had an interview.

our officer wasn't very friendly person. barely smiled..

I think interview went okay.

he took some of documents I brought, and gave me some papers(he told me extra)..

and He changed my eligible onthe Is-485 to apply for AOS to the first one and had me signed..

looked at our pictures...

and then he said. "that's all for today. I'll send the decision and if approved, you will get a letter within 3 weeks"..

we were like.. what?

okay. so anyone else had this situation?

I thought he's the one makes the decision.

he didn't tell me anything about FBI name check or ..

so I guess we're not approved... are we gonna get approved?

any ideas??

It doesn't mean that you were not approved.... it simply means they want more time to review your case.

Do not worry, we had a bad interview experience and left wondering, they said you will hear from us in about 6 weeks, but the welcome letter came about 2.5 weeks after the interview and a few days later the green card came.

Here is a link to our experience.
