US Immigration from Brazil

Hey everyone

Wife and I did our interview today, the officer told us he would approve our application and suspects nothing is wrong with our marriage. We got married Feb 1st 2020, so we've been married <2 years, and so any green card would be conditional. He says my wife should receive her green card in the mail in 4-6 weeks. However, he also gave us a sheet that reads:

"NOTICE OF INTERVIEW RESULTS. You have just completed your interview. USCIS is unable to complete your case at this time. Your case is being continued until a final decision can be made. Please see below for further explanation:"

"Your case is being held for review. At this time, USCIS does not require any further information or documents from you. Should further information or documents be required, you will receive a notice in the mail. We may also schedule you for another interview, you will receive a notice in the mail. Otherwise, a final decision will be mailed once your case is complete."

Is this what they say when your green card is conditional?? Or is this what everyone with an approved green card gets?

I got married in the USA, I came back to Brazil while my husband is still in Florida.

We applied for the CR1 visa and are now in the NVC phase.

I haven't registered my marriage in Brazil yet, and someone told me that I need to do this in the NVC phase. That's true?

Do I really have to register my marriage in Brazil for NVC to approve my case?

Hi all,

I'm about to become a citizen and am wondering what is the best order to update my documents (I have changed my first name). I went to the SSA website and it seems to be easier to apply for a passport first, then update your SSA. I am also wondering what documents you have to take to update your DL name? Thanks for any assistance!

Hello! A friend who has yet to join VJ asked me to ask if any consulates around the world are currently issuing L visas. We are in Brazil and the consulate here is barely doing immigrant interviews... Thanks!

My wife and I have our interview for her green card this coming Monday. I've told her for months, even years, that they may separate and interview us separately, and compare our answers to certain questions to see if there are inconsistencies suggestive of a fraudulent marriage. My wife is well aware of this and I recently sent her a list of possible questions that we have to have matching answers to in the event we do encounter a Stokes interview.

How likely is this to happen? We do speak different primary languages and her English isn't great, but we've never received any requests for evidence during any part of the process. We also know an interpreter who will help my wife over the phone (can't be there in person due to COVID-19 restrictions).

Is it just random and it's best to be as prepared as possible?

Any advice appreciated, thanks!
