Interview in the US for I-730

Hi there，my wife and I，we finished our interview in a local USCIS branch. The officer said we will receive a mail in two weeks，for noticing us the decision or more documents are needed. The status of the case was changed to “interview was completed and my case must be reviewed”. Curently，my wife and I，we are in the US. Almost two weeks past，I didn't see the update of my case on the website of USCIS，and not receive the notice letter yet. Anyone have the same experience after i-730 interview in the US？
