Green card in hand!!!
Interview was on October 27th and we were approved on the spot. It is so beautiful! đ„ș
Edit:
Field office: Long Island, NY
I am providing more information in case it helps someone.
- We were verbally approved but I was given the Notice of Continuance (white paper) at the very end of the interview. We were shocked because we were expecting an approval letter.
- Both case statuses showed âinterview was scheduledâ 4 days after the interview so I began to panic
- I then reached out via EMMA and told the agent that my status hasnât been updated to show that the interview was completed even after verbal approval at the interview. Agent told me to continue waiting as I am still within processing time for my FO.
- Hours later, both cases changed to approved. I donât know if my chat had anything to do with it but Iâm elated and I thank God!

Falcon & Winter SoldierNov 9, 2021
@ Stacey thank you!
LarryMark LanrayNov 9, 2021
@Stacey O Congratulations đ
Stacey ONov 9, 2021
Thanks Larry! Hope youâre well.
LarryMark LanrayNov 9, 2021
@Stacey O Thank you, I am okay, though still waiting for interview, wondering what exactly is delaying it, maybe itâs because I changed address at some point. keeping my fingers crossed. congratulations again.
Stacey ONov 9, 2021
Larry, have you tried contacting them to ask if youâre in queue for an interview spot? I did that via EMMA when my case was still in the âactively reviewedâ phase.
LarryMark LanrayNov 10, 2021
@Stacey O I did and they said Iâm in the queue, but the interview has not been scheduled yet.
Stacey ONov 12, 2021
Hmm, I sincerely hope you get scheduled soon as Latoya is a March filer and she has been scheduled.
LarryMark LanrayNov 12, 2021
@Stacey O Amen, Thank you.
O JNov 12, 2021
@ Stacey O the same thing happened to me too on my interview day.the officer told me I was approved but that they have some technical issue with the system and apologize to me and gave me the white paper too but my status have changed yet I guess Bc if the holiday
R RNov 12, 2021
@ O J. congratulations. how was your interview?
O JNov 12, 2021
R.R interview was good officer told me verbally that I was approved but had some technical issue with the system to put the approval in so he gave me the continuation paper
R RNov 12, 2021
You will be receiving the card soon. good luck
O JNov 12, 2021
@R . R hopefully the officer told me I will receive the approval notice first then the card will follow next but I should get it before thanksgiving but my status online havenât change yet
Stacey ONov 13, 2021
O J, does your receipt number start with IOE?
O JNov 13, 2021
@ Stacey O yes it does
Stacey ONov 13, 2021
Yea, I have noticed the same trend with cases that start with IOE. Posts on USCISâs Reddit page suggest the same. I hope yours is electronically approved soon.
Congrats on the verbal approval.
O JNov 13, 2021
@Stacy O thatâs crazy Bc when I came out my wife told me that another couple too were told the same thing. so I wonder what the issue might be? I officer said they have a new system now and they are just trying to get use to it. so I really wonder why
Stacey ONov 13, 2021
Yes, apparently the ELIS system will be used for majority of cases going forward to speed up processing times. My officer straight up told us that she has a hard time adjusting to the system.
When was your interview?
O JNov 13, 2021
@Stacey O my interview was on Wednesday. Have you heard of anyone else with the same situation?
Stacey ONov 13, 2021
Oh yes, go to USCIS reddit page (itâs public) and search â32 days after interviewâ and look at that thread. Thatâs just one thread that talks about it. There are many on there. Visa journey and Immihelp too.
O JNov 13, 2021
@ Stacey O is the USCIS Reddit page on USCIS website?

Read this post. After verbal approval, the I-485 still hasnât changed.
Stacey ONov 13, 2021
What does your case status say?
O JNov 13, 2021
@Stacey O it says interview was scheduled
Stacey ONov 13, 2021
Reach out to them on Monday via EMMA and use my exact words on this post. My interview was on a Wednesday and I reached out the next Monday.
O JNov 13, 2021
okay I will thanks @ Stacey O
Stacey ONov 15, 2021
O J, did you contact them today?
O JNov 15, 2021
@Stacey O yes I did and was told my case is in process for a decision and that they will send me a notice when itâs made
Stacey ONov 15, 2021
Keep an eye out for when your status changes to âactively being reviewedâ again. Usually, a decision notice follows immediately. That happened to me.
O JNov 15, 2021
okay thanks
LarryMark LanrayNov 16, 2021
Hi @Stacey O , I reached out on Emaa and I was told my case is on queue to be scheduled, was told nothing else. thanks.
Stacey ONov 17, 2021
Morning Larry,
Fingers crossed that you get scheduled soon as the holidays impede processing times. đ€đŸ
Have a great day!
R RNov 17, 2021
Many of us are in the same boat. âCase is ready to be scheduled for interview â.
Stacey OFeb 8, 2022
Iris, âlive agentâ then click on âcase statusâ. When prompted, enter the receipt number for the specific case.
Stacey OFeb 9, 2022
You are most likely trying after hours. Try it between 8 am and 5 pm EST and let me know.
