The wait is killing me
Guys, I had my marriage-based interview on august 19th, at Kendall Field office, and it seems like it went great, but we’re still waiting for a decision, and it gets discouraging at times :(. It’s already been a week with radio silence, and my case still says interview was scheduled.

ivan ivanAug 27, 2021

Z EAug 27, 2021

Qa yaAug 27, 2021

Mich MillionaireAug 27, 2021
My is 19 August still no updates
Colombian ApplicantAug 27, 2021
@Z E trust me, I’m trying. Doesn’t mean some of us have to wait months just because. it’s normal to worry and get discouraged, wondering what could be wrong?
Colombian ApplicantAug 27, 2021
@ivan Ivan I’m sorry to read that!! this wait is not nice
Colombian ApplicantAug 27, 2021
@null Taha we’re on the same boat, I guess :(.
deej .Aug 27, 2021
@null what did the IO say to you after the interview?
Z EAug 27, 2021
I get it - the wait is killing me also - but nothing we can do about it. literally nothing
Colombian ApplicantAug 27, 2021
@Jay Jay my officer hinted at approval and gave us two papers: one she made us sign and was section 216 notice, which said my green card would be conditional upon approval, and the other one said my interview was under review. she just said she had to check the evidence we gave her that day, but the interview was quick and without any troubles.
deej .Aug 27, 2021
yea I didn’t go through the signing and picture process too ,but I heard some people do
Colombian ApplicantAug 27, 2021
@Mich Millionaire yeah!! I’ve seen you around. I try to keep myself busy, but I wish I at least had an EAD to fall into.
Mich MillionaireAug 27, 2021
The officer make me sign a paper also he take my pic after that he take my 2 finger print.
Mich MillionaireAug 27, 2021
Officer said they gonna send a paper to my mailing address
Colombian ApplicantAug 27, 2021
@Z E have you tried any help from congressman or something, since yours has taken so long? You’re right. Most times I tell myself it’s gonna come eventually, but I guess I’m just an impatient person.
Colombian ApplicantAug 27, 2021
I didn’t have fingerprints or photo taken
Mich MillionaireAug 27, 2021
But I have little problem cause I missed one doc like I-130 during my interview the officer asked me about i don’t have it
Mich MillionaireAug 27, 2021
They gonna send a mail to me to send the doc back to uscis
Z EAug 27, 2021
if they were going to deny you - it would happen quickly in my opinion - like a week or two after the interview they would RFE you or NOID you.
Colombian ApplicantAug 27, 2021
They will probably send a document to your home requesting that missing paper from you. I’m mostly annoyed at the uncertainty and I wish I was one of those people I keep seeing who get their status change after a few days, or even the same day. But oh well
Z EAug 27, 2021
yeah the open ended feel to this makes me very angry. if they had just said you’ll get approved but it’ll take 12 months I could just live with it
Z EAug 27, 2021
I am going to sue USCIS if my case ends up outside processing times. that’ll will be in November. Thsts my plan of attack - at least that way I’ll have an answer by Easter.
ivan ivanAug 27, 2021

ivan ivanAug 27, 2021

Z EAug 27, 2021
probably a pre approval by the looks of it. you have nothing to worry about - I don’t think any of us do - just a waiting game
Colombian ApplicantAug 27, 2021
I agree we should be fine!! time just discourages at times, but we have to hang in there
ivan ivanAug 27, 2021
I really hope so .... waiting is killing me 🤦🏻♂️🙌🙌
Mich MillionaireAug 27, 2021
What means security question? I had my interview i-485 August 19 the officer only asked me the security questions.They don’t asked any evidence
Abd dAug 27, 2021

Colombian ApplicantAug 27, 2021
The wait is awful. My I-130 just got approved, but I don’t want to celebrate, because I know some of you guys have yours approved and you’re still waiting a long time for I-485
Z EAug 27, 2021
just now @colombian?
Colombian ApplicantAug 27, 2021
yes! I got the notification from Lawfully, and I went in 100% convinced it was just a comment notification, but it was actually the approval (I-130 only).
Z EAug 27, 2021
