Hi did anyone get the “Your case is being held for review” notice after AOS interview?
Our Interview went well, the officer said he couldnt approve on the spot because he just needed to scan the medical and photo album we provided and that we should see a response online by the end of the day or the next day. Its now been 2 days and theres still no update, online it still shows “Interview was scheduled” as the most recent status. Has anyone been through this? if so, how long was the wait before an uodate was posted? Thanks!

your case is fast did you already have approved i130
J VAJun 2, 2022
@tas smith no the status for my i130 also shows “Interview was Scheduled”. We submitted the i30 & the i485 at the same time
tas smithJun 2, 2022
ok you will get good news soon lately they haven't been approving on the spot some people waiting for months which is just crazy to me
Aussie BrownJun 2, 2022
I didn't get oral approval on the spot too but my caes updated to approved after 7 days done the interview
J VAJun 2, 2022
@tas smith thanks! I did see some people are waiting for months after, thats crazy
J VAJun 2, 2022
@Aussie Brown 7 days isnt bad, congrats on the approval! Thanks for the feedback
tas smithJun 2, 2022
@J VA I thought they trying to get rid of all these backlog don't seems that way to me
J VAJun 2, 2022
@tas smith I know right I though the same thing, looks like a lot of people are waiting after they do their interview, if theres nothing wrong they should be approving on the spot to speed up all these backlogs
tas smithJun 2, 2022
@JVA believe me even in ir5 cases people here waiting am like what for you can't change your parents
J VAJun 2, 2022
@tas smith thats crazy, they are so inefficient those should be quick and easy approvals
tas smithJun 2, 2022
lol not at all that's the case I have
J VAJun 2, 2022
@tas smith how long has yours been?
The Patriot 20Jun 2, 2022
been two days after second interview and still on case schedule for interview
J VAJun 2, 2022
@LA 20 why did you need a second interview? did they tell you on your first one that you needed a second one? what field office was it?
tas smithJun 2, 2022
@JVA had my first case in that hell hole Texas in 2020 didn't heard a thing after biometrics so my lawyer decided to refile again thank God this time it's at nbc
J VAJun 2, 2022
@tas smith wow yeah I heard the texas one is terrible
tas smithJun 2, 2022
oh yeah it is from my own experience I can say that much
Aussie BrownJun 2, 2022
Yes Dallas field office is really slow. Mine I-485 receipt date is Feb.10,2020 but we got interviewed on 05/20/2022 that's more than two years
J VAJun 2, 2022
@Aussie Brown wow thats so long, did you get approved on the interview? is your spouse a USC?
Aussie BrownJun 2, 2022
We didn't get oral approval on the spot but case status updated to case was approved 7 days after the interview and yesterday got message said my card already been mailed to me. Yes marriage based spouse USC
J VAJun 2, 2022
@Aussie Brown thats awesome congratulations on the approval, that was a long wait time!
Aussie BrownJun 2, 2022
that's a crazy long journey
Evelyn UribeJun 2, 2022
Our interviewer told us we were approved on the spot too, said we should expect to receive GC in 2 weeks, and it’s been a month now and online status still says “interview was scheduled” marriage based USC, field office El Paso 🤦🏻♀️
The Patriot 20Jun 2, 2022
obviously that’s their new tactics 😞 either been told or not , one should just continue to pray 🙏
J VAJun 2, 2022
@Evelyn Uribe wow thats unbelievable they are so inefficient and also inconsiderate knowing how big of a deal this is for people, hopefully youll get an update soon!
nuni nunitaJun 2, 2022
hey J VA! what’s your field office? also, you and I have the same situation and it’s been 2 months for me. 😕
J VAJun 2, 2022
@Mary J wow 2 months, what did they tell you after your interview ended? did it alo go well? my field office was santa ana in california, how about yours?
Aussie BrownJun 3, 2022
My case pending too long over two years but after 05/20 Friday done interview. even I didn't get oral approval on the spot my case status updated very fast. I already received my GC in hand yesterday 06/02 so total around 10 working days got the GC
J VAJun 3, 2022
@Aussie Brown thats awesome you got it so soon after the interview, congratulations!
J VAJul 13, 2022
Finally the status message online changed to case approved, took 42 days after interview! good luck to all of you waiting, just need to be patient, theyre taking a while to process these I guess
Evelyn UribeJul 13, 2022
Congratulations! hopefully we hear good new soon, we are still waiting 62 days after interview, the wait is terrible but it is going to be worth it!
Evelyn UribeJul 13, 2022

J VAJul 13, 2022
