Husband and I had the interview today at field office in Houston. He took our IRS joint filing and tax return, joint lease, joint car insurance. At the end of the 15 minute interview, he proceeded to give us marriage advice and said that our card will be delivered in 2-3 weeks. He also explained that it is conditional and we would need to remove conditions since we're under 2 years of marriage. He also went on about how hubby could apply for citizenship in 3 years. So we thought we were approved. Then he gave us the results of the interview: He gave us the interview results that say: Your case is being held for review. At this time USCIS does not require further evidence 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. Anyone have insight? Are there no direct approvals for under 2 years of marriage? Thanks Kierra

I recently uploaded some of my documents to the NVC and had a question about the I864A. My father must file the I864A since he is a household member as I live with my parents after returning to the US, if I understand this correctly. He files his taxes jointly with my mother who has been retired for the last 4 years or so, making her individual income zero. I have seen many people say that the I864A will still be required from her due to their taxes being filed jointly even though she has no income. Reading through the I864A instructions, I have found this: I have not found anything directly stating both of my parents will need to file the I864A, just include every related W-2 and Form 1099 which would only include my father's. I have two questions related to this: 1. Will I need to include my mother in part 5-7 of the I864 which relates to household members I am combining my income with? I currently have only included my father as she has no income so I figured it would be unnecessary. 2. If it truly is necessary for me to upload an I864A for my mother as well, will I need to create another household member item in CEAC separately from the one I created for my father, or will I need to upload her I864A in the same section I have uploaded my fathers along with tax information, their marriage certificate, etc.?
