marriage based interview .PD 03/12/2024
Hi! Yesterday, I had an interview at the Brooklyn field office, and they informed me that a decision will be reached within 120 days. Both my I-130 and I-485 statuses changed to "your case is being actively reviewed" at 3:40 PM, which was during the interview. What does this mean? How long do you think it will take for them to make a decision?#marriagebasedgreencard

@imran shehzad @Karina Swabis sure !So it was for 1:15 pm,but the officer met us and invited to the room at 2 pm.The interview itself was about 40 minutes .All burden was to my husband(the petitioner).I mean questions like how we met ,where we met ,how he proposed,where do we live (like the exact address).Then I was asked to answer the questions.Some of them were :my husband’s parents name,my husband’s kids name and age (from his previous marriage),where do kids live .Also,I was asked what I like the most in my husband and if the age gap is okay for us (since we have an age gap ),that’s pretty much it .Then ,the officer went to basic questions from I-485 form asking about any criminal and so on. At the end we were asked if we had any questions,and my husband said “Can we congratulate now” and officer said to that ,that the hard part is over .I am honestly didn’t get what the officer meant by that,by anyway I was upset when she handed the piece of paper and said to wait 120 days:(

@V K my interview was this past Tuesday on the 11th she didn’t give me a paper. she just said everything looks good and will be uploading and updating the system but it is one of those things that even after a smooth interview the word vs holding the card in your hand you know.
