Hello,

It's been a while since I've posted but alas, I have a question/concern that I'm hoping someone can maybe help me with.

My husband and I had our AOS interview in the beginning of September. Everything went great, and the IO was very friendly and easy to deal with. As she was marking the paper as approved, she let us know she had to step away and would be right back.

When she returned, she informed us that she was unable to approve us at the moment (It was heartbreaking to see her cross out the approved box and mark the pending box!) because she stated that since my husband lived in the US as a child for a year, she would need to locate his files from that year and attach it with our current files. Now, I'm happy that our interview went well and we don't need to come back again or submit any additional paperwork, but I'm concerned about this delay. Has anyone else ever been in a similar situation? I'm unsure of how long I should wait before attempting to follow-up on this. She didn't give us any sort of time frame and just said we will receive a letter in the mail. That's not enough info to go by!!

Any related experiences or opinions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

**I am going to update my timeline soon, jest of it for now is: Married March 2008, filed AOS in April, Interview in September!**

I don't have an answer to your question except maybe you need to book an Infopass appt. Hopefully now that I have bumped your question, you will get an answer.

Thanks Mrs. Wilson & Heliosphan for the response--After I posted my question, I realized that it's a pretty general question but I appreciate the help--I'll make that infopass to follow-up on the case. I'll probably wait about 5-6 weeks to give them extra time, it's just hard because I don't know how much time they really need.

Oh well--I'll see what happens. Thanks again!

Hi, great news. After I posted my last response on VJ, I checked my email and there it was--an email stating that the greencard had been ordered!!! All that bother for nothing--I'm so glad there is no need to follow-up with an info-pass after all.

Thanks for the kind advice, it helped me during that moment of worry.

Yay, we're done for 2 years! :jest:
