I and my husband had our interview yesterday at Bloomington Office in Minnesota.
I came to the US on F1 and have been working on H1B since then and my husband is a US citizen(not by birth).
It felt like the interview went pretty well. We compared our answers after coming back.
Besides 2 answers everything else matched.
At the end of the interview, after yes/no questions the interviewer explained the procedure about removing conditions 90 days before the expiration of temporary green card. She then said that she has some verification to run after which a decision will be mailed in 2 weeks.
When I checked the status on USCIS website it says "Interview Was Completed And My Case Must Be Reviewed"
Has anyone gone through a similar situation?
And does anyone know if they are doing on the spot approvals or rejections anymore?.

Any information will be appreciated.

Thread is moved from the AOS/Family-Based main forum to the Case Progress subforum.

Hello.  Well, our case needed to be reviewed because I (the U.S. citizen) did not bring an original of my birth certificate to the interview.  Of course, we did not know that was the reason until we received a letter via post saying that was the reason for the case not being approved.  And in that week we thought about all of the reasons why they might be denying my Syrian husband status.  Duh!  So after I sent in my birth certificate original (which took about 3-4 days for me to get and then send on), then 7-10 days after that his AOS was approved.   I hope that the reason that your case is being reviewed is as simple as ours was.

Hello all:
My husband and I went to our green card interview today at the Fairfax, VA, office. The interview lasted one hour. We were asked about how we met, when things "got serious", when we got engaged, who was at the wedding. We didn't answer with specific mm/dd/yy, but rather in general terms, as we aren't much for celebrating anniversaries (anniversaries of the wedding - yes, anniversaries of meeting, or getting engaged -- not so much ). We handed over our holiday photo card (a good idea), proof that he is on my medical insurance, co-signed car loan, etc. We were asked all of the I-485 "yes/no" questions. We were asked for his divorce certificate from previous marriage, my divorce certificate from previous marriage, my most recent tax filing (I file late every year ), his sealed medical records and immunizations. At the end of the interview, we received a notice of interview results with a "reason for continuance" saying that our case is being held for review. At this time, USCIS does not require any further information from us. I'm not quite sure what to think. My husband and I think that the interview went well. He is Syrian, and it may be the case that the interviewer's supervisor needs to sign off, or that there is an additional background check. In any case, I will write an update to VJ once I hear of the next step, for other July 2016 AOS filers who may be in the same situation. Courage, everyone!

Congratulations to all those who have completed the process and all the very best to those still waiting - hang in there!
I had my interview last week - it was very straightforward and we were told at the interview that our case was approved. It lasted about 40 minutes but could have been shorter if they hadn't been experiencing technical difficulties on the day! Our officer was impressed about how quickly the case was processed. One thing we were told was that me being from the UK probably helped because the USA & UK have good communication and typically speedy sharing of information. Other countries might take longer to share records and/or need to be translated. Don't know if there are any other Brits on here who would agree with this? Obviously there are lots of other issues which might hold up cases, fortunately I think ours was pretty simple.
Thank you for the support and company along this journey folks - I wish you all every happiness!
