had interview on may 20th 2025, status says interview was scheduled!

asked basic questions about relationship prior to marriage and then the I-485 yes and no question. she did asked where I currently worked and my mothers date of birth was incorrect on the form. she made note of this and then she said the interview was completed and handed us a paper which said interview completed and the they need more time to review our case. finally she said if we need anything we will mail you or else you should have your case decision soon. any body in the similar situation?

I’m so glad that my journey has come to an end. submitted Application 27th March 2025, RFE was sent and I replied April 14th. I got my EAD 27th of May. Interview was scheduled 29th June. I went for interview 9th September and my case was approved 10th of September. All my forms approved!! I-130,I-485 all approved same day. So my case took approximately 6months. Am just here to encourage everyone going through this process to stay strong and I wish you all the best!
