Interview Follow-Up – Washington, D.C. Office

Hi everyone, We had our interview on May 1st at the Washington, D.C. office. Everything went well, and at the end, the officer gave us a paper that basically said, “We don’t need anything from you, and we’ll mail you the results.” The thing is, our online status still shows “Interview Was Scheduled” same as before the interview. It’s been 4 days now, and there’s been no update. Is this normal? Has anyone else had a similar experience? Just trying to figure out if we should be concerned or just wait it out.

Interview I 130 & I 485 Baltimore Office

Ok, here is my experience: We arrived at 9:40 AM today; our interview was scheduled for 10:00 AM. A few minutes later, they called my spouse, and we both went in with our attorney. Questions we were asked: Where and how did you meet? How long did you date before getting married? Do you have children together? Do you keep in touch with your child from a previous marriage? How often do you see your in-laws (both sides)? How do you support your spouse emotionally, financially etc....? The officer also asked for additional documents, which we submitted, including: Household income Estimated value of all assets Officer's remark: “I wanted to separate you two but don’t have time for that.” They went through all the questions from the I-130 and I-485, and we updated a few of our answers as needed. Final result: Our case is being held for review. Our attorney gave a strong closing statement, explaining that there is no reason for further review since we've demonstrated a bona fide relationship and clearly live and share our lives together. He also highlighted the beneficiary’s full eligibility for adjustment of status, using some solid legal arguments. Officer's response: “Thank you for that, attorney. Now that I have more evidence, wait to hear something by the end of the day. I need to update and further review everything.” Advice: Always go with an attorney. Good luck to everyone preparing for their interview. Bottom line: if your relationship is genuine, you have nothing to fear. God bless you all!
