AOS Interview Passport not Stamped

[papples 0]

HI everyone,

Just had our AOS Interview yesterday, IO was okay and polite. It was a usual Interview questions such as how we met, what happened next then asked for documents showing both our names on it like bank statements etc. IO also looked at our original documents and took some of our wedding photos, Interview lasted for like 20 minutes then IO informed us that he will recommend our case for approval in short he did not approve us on the spot, according to him his supervisor needs to check if he did everything correct with our papers. IO gave us a Removal of Condition slip that the three of us signed, he explained a bit with regards to the same and informed us that if our case will be approved we will be receiving my green card in 2 to 3 weeks. I was really confused because i don't know if we got approved or not, all i know is that IO did not stamp my Passport, did not even ask for my EAD and did not take my i-94's at firs i was calm but when our online status changed within the day from testing/interview back to initial review i started to panick..

can someone shed a light on this...

Thank you.

Not stamping is common.. Based on what you said, I think you're fine.

No need to panic, the online updates are commonly unreliable.

As said, stamp in the passport is rare. The IO asked for my EAD but I don't even remember if he looked at it. He told me to keep it, that I don't even need to destroy it. The only thing that I think abnormal in what you said is that he didn't take your I-94 from your passport... Maybe he was new? But again, do not panic, no reason for it.

My passport didn't get stamped either. I asked if I needed a stamp, the interviewer said 'no,' They don't stamp passports anymore and he told me that he would only give me a stamp if I had some travel documents (flight confirmation, etc.). He said if the green card didn't come in time for my upcoming travel I could have an infopass appt and get my passport stamped then. So don't worry.

Thanks, for the speedy respones peeps.. i really appreciate it..

I know for a fact that the IO is not new, he is very polite but i must admit very intimidating but it doen'nt matter i know he is just doing his job.

Holliver, thank you! One question though, have they taken your I94 or your ead?

Holliver, thank you! One question though, have they taken your I94 or your ead?

Yes, he took my I-94. I hadn't received my EAD. That arrived in the post the following week (one day before I got my green card, lol).

Ok, because IO who interviewed us never took my I94 that's why i am on a panic mode. Oh well, i'll just wait and see.

Congrats!

They never took my husband's EAD or I-94 at the interview either. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't.

Yes, these are good news, your case is approved. The update on the I-485 is the Welcome letter mailed. Congrats! See, there was no need to panic.
