New Card Being Produced - 6 weeks after interview
Hi all - sharing my timeline as seeing all of yours has been really helpful.
Marriage based AOS - Canadian, on TN status. New York (Brooklyn) Filer. Same Sex Marriage.
Based on what I'd read about NYC, we were surprised to get the interview notice 13 months after filing.
Interview was straight forward. Standard questions about birth date, parents names, address, date of marriage.Then about when we met, how we got engaged, who was at the wedding. We had a binder with copies of all the evidence (lease, banks statements, insurance policies, travel tickets, utility bills) and photo album - we left about 20 photos with the agent. Maybe 30 minutes total.
We got the white paper saying no decision but no additional info required. The IO indicated we'd hear back within 30 days but didn't give us any indication of how it went.
Should add that I (immigrant) have arrest record/charge that was dismissed from years ago. Brought certified copies of the court record. The IO took copies, asked a few questions on what happened and what the disposition was, and said it wasn't an issue.
Case status for I-485 and I-130 changed overnight to "Interview Completed but Case Must Be Reviewed". I-130 changed to approved 6 days later.
Just shy of 6 weeks after the interview I hadn't heard about the I-485, I called USCIS and requested a Tier 2 Officer and, after being told there was a 403 minute wait, received a call back 403 minutes later. I explained that the IO said we'd hear back in 30 days. She gave the standard "They have up to 120 day response" but when I asked if I could submit a service request she told me not to. She said the SR would take my filed away from the IO and I'd be put back at the bottom of the pile after they reviewed it, and that she could see that my file was still with the original IO (apparently a good sign) and that it was in the "final decision stage". She said she thought I'd hear back imminently. Two days later my status changed to "New Card Being Produced". I don't know if this is coincidental, but I'm pretty happy - especially with the holidays coming so that I can travel to Canada.
Long story short, be patient, especially if you are not one of the lucky ones that get approved same-day. Good luck!
