3 year wait?! feeling exhausted

I had my AOS interview 8 weeks ago. The officer told me we would hear back within a few days (he couldn't approve on the day as his system was down), but it's been 8 weeks with no updates. I have tried calling USCIS and all they say is check the online processing times.. and that I have to wait until my date is current to inquire. The date for case inquiry is currently June 2018, I am May 2020.

 

I'm exhausted. Another potential 2 year wait is nerve wracking - my husband and I want to buy a house and start a family, but I can't do this with this hanging over my heads.

I just want confirmation that they know my interview was scheduled, and just to know what the holdup is. I don't want to wait 2 more years to find out that something was wrong with the application.

 

Is there really nothing that can be done?

GC can take up to 120 days after AOS interview.

The fact that you weren't given a deficiency notice then or later is a good indication that you were approved.

Hi there! Yes I asked USCIS about this 120 days and they said that I actually need to wait the 2 years (or whenever my case falls out of processing times) and that it didn’t matter that I had done the interview. 
 

Do you think I was just given misinformation? If I can put in some type of service request / infopass etc after 120 days then that’s a huge relief, but the USCIS call line agent told me that I can’t do that and have to wait 2 years.

You were misinformed.

Thank you so much! That is a huge relief. I’ve had two different agents tell me this, so is there a link you can forward to me so I can reference it if I don’t hear back by 120 days?

There is none.

If you had an efficient IO at your interview they would have told you at your interview before leaving that it can take up to 120 days to make a decision.

I have never read/ heard of a case that took two years after the interview. Wait two more months and you can do a SR.
