Hi!  We had our GC interview on Thursday.  The woman was nice, we were told that it could take 120 days, then she said probably a couple of weeks.  She couldn't log on to her computer, so asked someone else to print out a "Notice of Interview Results".  She said Congratulations and we went on our way.  Unfortunately though nothing has changed in the system as of yet.  I'm hoping that she didn't forget to update the file when she was able to get into the system.  The other strange thing is the date on the letter she gave us says 11 Sep 2019.  Praying it didn't get lost in the confusion of tech issues. 

 

Were you interviewed in the 'Queens office'? I'm starting to think they are putting the Manhattan people's interviews in the 'Queens office' but then have to pass it off to some Manhattan office supervisor for approval.

 

It seems like the people who are getting instant/fast approvals are all people in the boroughs not served by the Manhattan office, while Manhattan filers are all getting the '120 days' notice.

It could have been, not sure.  There was a couple behind me that I think said they lived in Manhattan, but anything is possible.  The signs downstairs did not match the other signs I saw, and they had just moved offices...
Praying we hear something sooner than 120 days, and that it's good news.

I'm in the same boat and not worried... anymore. Just seems like most Manhattan filers are getting stuck with this extra delay. My I-130 was approved within a few days of the interview (which I think is approved by the main office in Missouri), but it looks like there's just a big back log for the I-485s at this office.

Thank you for sharing.   I will try not to worry too much

We had our interview on Oct. 15, 2019 schedule for 12pm at 9th Floor room 901 (Queens Office), we live in the Bronx.

 

Let me try to give a clear description as to what took place. The interview was schedule for 12PM and we got there 11:32AM. this is the time stamp on the que # we got. In the waiting area there was about 10 families so it was not crowded or seem busy. We sat patiently waiting to hear our number call. We heard numbers before and after ours called and NOT our number. At about 12:15 i went and ask the lady if they had pass our number, she told me no and the numbers are not in order as each case goes to a specific officer. 

 

We continue waiting and watch people come and come at about 1PM, my wife (USC) was concern as much as i am so she said she will go ask. She and the lady and was told the same thing. We continue to wait and to be honest i was getting annoy as i have been ready forums for months and never say anyone waited this long.  The lady at the front desk took a break about 1:30PM so my wife said she will ask the man that replace her. The man ash her for my Alien number to check if i am still in que. 

 

I went and gave him the number and he check with a look on his face like"really". He told me i was still in que and the officer who has my case is backed up. At that point i did not feel good about the entire thing as i could sense its someone the guy was not fond of base on his expressions. We continue waiting and it now 2PM and no one called our number. At about 2:15PM our name was finally called. 

 

The officer hold the door and told us to follow him. When we got to the office he had us raise our right hand and swear to be honest, then told us to be seated. I was told to sit in front of him and my wife to the side. He as for all our original ID, Passport, SS and Marriage Cert. I placed them all on his desk and he look though the docs for a while, then he and my wife to state her full name, date of birth and country of birth. My wife did and then he asked me to state the same. He ask my wife how we meet, she was explaining while laughing at the story and i tried to correct her with a part of it. I was told by the officer he just want to her from my wife and i will get my turn to answer shortly.

 

After my wife explanation he asked me the same question. He then ask my wife is she meet parents, with who did i live before us and who supported me and what kind of work they do. He then took up a copy of my I-485 and started to check off the information with a red ink pen. He asked my wife what do i do job wise. He then ask me the name of my company and wrote it on the application. Then he got to the "Yes and NO" questions and started to ask me the questions. He ask me about 10 questions in a row and i said not to all, he then pass half way in the 11th question and i say "NO'. He said, why did you say no i am not finish asking the question. I said i though you finish, he said what did i say. I then repeated the entire question and he said OK, let me ask again.  I knew that was just his test to see if i was actually being attentive to the questions. He then took my picture, did my finger print and ask for all joined document. 

 

He then printed out a paper said the case will be review and they have 120 days to do that, so they will contact us by letter and we are free to do.

 

He printed out a paper and told us they have 120 days to review and get back to us, then told us we are free to go.

I'm in Brooklyn and I'm still stuck in a delay. I called tonight and spoke with a nice dude who told me they still haven't made a decision about my case. It wasn't any news, but it was good to hear because I wanted to make sure I'm not missing any potential requests for evidence. He said there are additional steps after the field officer is done with the case... which I obviously know very well is not always the case as some people get approved right away. He said they were delayed. I knew there was a delay pre-interview but I wasn't expecting this.

 

Also, my expedite request is seemingly denied. Or I can't really tell from the email they sent me (minutes after I finished my call with the nice dude by the way). They referred to the extension. I'm aware... Just getting a bit tired of this.
