I am an American citizen, and I submitted my I-130 for my husband in July 2016, and we received our approval in January 2017. Now, nearly five months later we have just been contacted by our local embassy (I am staying in his country with him until the visa is processed) saying that USCIS had a question for us about our case. We went to the embassy the next day but unfortunately the person we needed to talk to was not there. The consul did, however take photocopies of both of our passports, my husband's finger prints, and had us hash out our entire relationship story while he typed it out. He said he would be in touch with the Department of Homeland Security so they could schedule us a longer interview in May, but he didn't know what all of this was about.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Or does anyone know why USCIS could possibly be calling us in for prints and an interview when we were approved nearly 5 months ago, and our case is with the NVC now? Any thoughts appreciated!
Approved by USCIS, called back 4 months later
