Interview went well, but decision cannot yet be made

[Avina 13]

Hello!

 

I had my interview today, it went surprisingly well!

 

The officer separately questioned me and my husband with our lawyer sitting with us together.

At the end of the interview she said that she is satisfied with our story and will do a final background check if we have all necessary documents and check my I-94 travel history,

and said that we should be receiving our approval within 2 weeks if they are satisfied with all the submitted documents.

She handed me a sheet of paper stating that "A decision cannot yet be made about your application/petition."

 

Now, my lawyer said that I should be approved 99% and we are already certain of the approval.

 

But I was wondering if this happened to anyone too, and why does this does happen?

Yes it does happen, I wasn't even separated from my wife but was not approved on the spot. I was just told I will hear back in a letter if they need any other thing. I have been waiting since. Seems she was pls with your interview, you will be approved. Did you sign up for online status change?.

Yes, the strange part is that on my I-485 online number it says that my card is being produced and on I-130 that it must be reviewed .

I googled this "case must be reviewed", and it is most likely that the officer who interviewed us gave the case to a supervisor who will give the final green light. -But it can be painful to wait...

How long have you been waiting already?

I'm just curious - what kind of visa are you adjusting from?

Why do you think they separated you?

I'm really worried that they are gonna separate us too in the future as I'm adjusting from a J1.

Not that I mind being questioned individually but it's gonna make it much more stressful.

I think being separated depends on several factors, not mainly the visa type.

As sweetadams explained, there is many factors that depends.

I did AOS from a tourist visa and this type of interview was expected to happen.

But we were not afraid of anything because we were truthful and had nothing to hide.

So no need to stress about it if you are being questioned separately, as long as you have a true marriage!
