Records are to be submitted before December 15, 2019
IO also gave the Notice of Interview Results, which states, "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:

2020-01-25: Received From G-56 Call-In Letter dated January 22, 2020, to appear before Office Thomas regarding the Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status and bring Passport, Work Authorization Card, State ID and certified original/certified copies of Police Clearance Records on February 12, 2020, at 10:00 AM
2020-02-12: Appeared before IO Thomas with my husband. IO said that they have received my documents but it was not in my file. Submitted police clearance records to IO. After this, we were sworn in.
Answered IO's questions related to police records. Questions were:
1. Have you ever been arrested or detained by a law enforcement officer? I answered No.
2. Have you had your fingerprints taken for any reason by a law enforcement officer? I answered No. The IO asked me again about this because she had put in the answer as Yes. I explained to her that my fingerprints were taken by USCIS during my biometrics, as well as local fingerprinting services by a fingerprint technician who then submits the documents to a local government office/FBI for a background check so I can produce the Police Clearance Records they asked of me, but was never done by a law enforcement officer.
3. Have you ever been issued a ticket or been taken into custody by a law enforcement officer? I answered No.
4. Have you ever been ordered by a court to: pay a fine; go to jail; serve a probationary sentence; perform community service; make restitution, or have your wages garnished? I answered No.
5. Have you ever received an expungement, parole, pardon, or successfully completed a diversion or rehabilitation program? I answered No.
After I was asked the questions, she gave me a copy of the Record of Sworn Statement (Fingerprints) with my answers. She then asked me to sign it with another IO as a witness.
She then said she cannot approve the application right away because she needs to update the records in the system and it may take time. She told us to check the case online. She also advised us to update my police clearance records as we go through the process (in the future) because of the fingerprinting/biometrics issue.
After our appointment, I checked the USCIS case status: 'Response to USCIS' Request for Evidence Was Received' February 12, 2020
The previous status was 'Interview was Scheduled' August 16, 2019.
2020-02-26: Case was approved (via case status online)

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
