Hello, I wanted to see if anyone have experienced or would know how the decision might be made.

 

I applied for N-400 as 3 year rule married to citizen spouse. 

 

received my PR as I-130 unmarried child (us citizen parents) 3 months after I got married to my wife (she was/is US citizen). 

 

My PR interview was about 7 months prior to our wedding. We been married for almost 4 years and have two kids.

 

I knew this may cause slight complication, but I applied anyways. 

 

passed all my test but IO said decision cannot be made at yet.

 

what kind of decision should i expect?

 

Thank you

It is normal for an IO to not give a decision after an N-400 interview.

 

If the IO discussed the oath ceremony during the interview, that is a strong signal that you will be approved. 

 

Even if he didn't signal anything, since you passed your tests, and assuming you had no criminal activity, IRS issues, etc., you should expect approval, and to be sworn in in about 30 days.

I thought the 3 year rule was for those who got their PR through their spouse. Maybe I am wrong but more knowledgeable members will soon chime in.

It doesn’t matter how you originally acquired your lawful permanent residency status. To qualify under the 3 year rule you must be a lawful permanent resident for at-least 3 years, been married to a U.S. citizen for at-least 3 years and your spouse must’ve been a U.S. citizen as well for at-least 3 years.
