I thought our interview went really smooth last week. But after the interview our lawyer was given a piece of paper from the IO. Please inquire after 30 days. \"An adjudicative review is required of your case is needed, No additional required information is from you at this time.\" The IO was telling our lawyer that this was just for formality and for us to use to follow up on. Our lawyer was saying that within a week we will get a decission and not to worry about it. The IO was telling us that there was no problem for me that we will get approve and that she believes our marriage was true. So should I worry about this?
Here is a summary of our interview experience:
Got to LA office and waited for our lawyer in the lobby. Lawyer arrive and we all went up together on the sixth floor, was redirected back to the basement, they were doing renovations. Got to the basement, pack with people and our lawyer handed our appointment paper over. Within half an hour I got called in. Brought my wife and lawyer with me and I introduce them to the IO officer.
1. Swore in by the IO
2. Sat down and handed over our Identifications and Passports
3. Handed over marriage license, my wife and I have been married for five years
4. Ask if we had children we said yes, we said one, asked for daughters birth certificate, asked if she was born in the US, we said yes, ask how old she was, we said 2.5 years
5. Then asked for our joint documents such as bills and deed of trust
6. Then started asking me question about the application such as:
a. When did I enter the country last
b. My parents name
c. And the standard question about crime, organizations, and firearms etc.
We also informed the officer that we have copies of everything. Then she said give her a few minutes to look over the paper work and wait in the lobby for her. Before we left my lawyer asked her if she wanted to look at our albums, pictures, and letters. The officer said no, she said this \"I believe these two are married\". All in all it took no longer than ten minutes for the interview.
After waiting in the lobby for 10 minutes, she came out and handed over the passport and Identification cards back. She then handed my lawyer the paper mentioned above, and said not to worry they will get approve. I also noticed that I got my EAD card back and that I still have original I-94.
But should I worry? Has anyone ever ran into this situation?
