Hello,

we had our interview today. It lasted about 15 minutes and went rather smooth, but the IO was not the nicest one. Anyway, he said he still has to review a few things and that we should get the decision in mail.

How long does it take to get that decision? What are your experiences?

Please share

Hello,

we had our interview today. It lasted about 15 minutes and went rather smooth, but the IO was not the nicest one. Anyway, he said he still has to review a few things and that we should get the decision in mail.

How long does it take to get that decision? No way to know. What are your experiences?Ours took a couple of hours of deliberation.

Please share

Seems to be a somewhat common experience these days. IOs are immigration officials, not diplomats, and likely could be quite surly.

Our IO told us 7-30 days before a decision could be given, or whether more information would be required. Our experience was as noted above.

Good luck.

So after the interview my status for I-130 and I-485 -- "Your interview was completed my case must be reviewed" and then 15 minutes later I got another update on my I-485 that "New Card is being produced" but I-130 still says "Your interview was completed my case must be reviewed".

what does it mean ?

It means that they approved your Green Card. My guess is that the I-130 will be changed to approved within a day or so.
