Hi friends,
wanted to get your thoughts on the outcome of my interview yesterday. Here’s a brief summary:
arrived just before the appointment time but waited about 45 minutes to be called as my officer was behind on schedule.
Passed the civics and English tests.
she asked about violations of law, I asked if a small car accident counts. She said that doesn’t matter.
Then she asked about my previous marriage date, divorce date. ( I’m 5 year rule, divorced 8 months after I751 approval. Divorce took 2 months) she was surprised my divorce was this quick and asked me again to make sure we didn’t initiate divorce in the previous year. I said no it only took two months to finalize after the initiation of divorce. She also said that she doesn’t want to be intrusive but did ask why we divorced. I said we grew apart and the pandemic put a strain on the relationship. She said ok that’s sufficient. During this time she was checking on her computer a lot, she also had my whole A file, was looking at my I 751, and she typed a lot on the computer.
then she moved on to ask some other yes/no questions, and asked me to sign on iPad as well as on a piece of paper.
Lastly she gave me the interview results: she checked passed the test, and decision cannot be made.
she said the reason she checked that is because I have to come back for my oath. She reminded me I have to bring oath letter and green card to the ceremony. And she said it twice. She also said she doesn’t need anything else from me.
Then she was clicking a lot on her computer and said: I’m behind on schedule, my next interviewee is already here but I just want to finish your case. And she clicked more. After that she walked me out of their office.
This whole thing took about 20 minutes. My lawyer wasn’t there but he thinks the whole thing went as expected. And there’s nothing wrong with my divorce timeline.
but I’m just confused, and perhaps bummed too that she said decision cannot be made because I have to come back for the ceremony??? Like couldn’t she just checked the “congratulations” box?
I guess I was hoping to get approved on the spot and at least placed in line for oath.
but do y’all think?
