Interview Completed but ...

[rohanrob 10]

Okay so I went to my interview today. I-485 GC. My wife is filing for me. The interview was going well until she saw that we applied for the Marriage cert on May 29 and I propose to her on June 7 and got Married June 12. She was questioning us and mixing us up.

Anyways she took pictures, car insurance with our names and gave us a paper that says:

NOTICE OF INTERVIEW RESULTS: "Your case is being held for review. At this time, USCIS does not require any further information or documents from you. Should further information or documents be required, you will receive a notice in the mail .. "

Is this normal? At the end she was also saying I will receive my GC with 2year conditional and instructions on how to remove the condition and then said if we grant you.

Any one else experience this?

That is normal.

When marriage is less than 2 years and application is approved, they give conditional green card valid for 2 years. If the marriage is more than 2 years and application is approved, they give you green card valid for 10 years.

Before your conditional green card expires in 2 years time, you have to file application for petition to remove conditions on residence. You have to prove to USCIS that marriage is still on going. If approved, they will give you green card valid for 10 years.

We got the same notice at the end of our interview. I don't think the marriage certificate application should be a problem. If you came in on a K1, I assume the "question" was already popped, and the later date was just the formal proposal. In our case, we told the interviewer we decided to get married in my wife's home city before we filed the 129, then we showed her photos of my formal proposal once my wife (fiancée at the time) arrived. It took two days before our decision was made.

Good Luck!

Sorry, I hadn't read the entire post. Our interviewer also went over the 2 yr vs 10 yr GCs with us and how we would have to apply 90 days before the 2 yr card expired. We took that as a good sign!

Congrats!

Yes, completely normal. Many people are not given a decision right away.
