kaylee, did the IO take your I-94?
wait for 2 weeks. if you don't get a letter or if your online status doesn't change,schedule an infopass. in my case, i didn't get a decision on the spot either no stamp or taking my i-94.
but i went for my infopass and the very next day my status changed to "card production ordered". i was told at my infopass that they don't need anything from me and that my case is in the "decision area".
Hey Kaylee,
I hope everything goes right for you and will receive you GC soon. But she even didnt took your i-94? The IO normally takes most of the proof and puts them in your file for future reference like Pictures, joints accounts, bills, tax returns etc. If she didnt took any of your evidence you might be called in for stokes interview (which i hope i am wrong ) Hopefully it wont be stokes. I am just giving my opinion.
Kaylee are you and your husband from different ethnicity? or did you guys had a civil marriage or religious way? Did IO ask any kind of question like that?
congratulations kaylee if they took your I-94, then you are going to be fine if you look up the march filer thread for this year you'll see a lot of people had their I-94 taken but no stamp and everyone got their GC in 2-3 weeks.
my status was stuck in "initial review" too but then after the interview (and Infopass) it changed to "Card Prod ordered" and then once the card was mailed out it changed to "post decision activity".
hang in there, i know you want to be cautious till you actually see the welcome letter (which for me came in 10 business days) or the status change but i think you are done done done dealing with USCIS for another 3-5 yrs
It may just be how the individual IO's handle their workload or do paperwork, or whatever. Our IO said that she had "some things to do in the computer later" until I mentioned our upcoming trip, then she took the time to do the stamp and whatever additional processing needed to be done, instead of putting it off until "later" or doing it the next day or whatever. Who knows - maybe some IO's are great at keeping on top of things and do everything right then and there, maybe others get their interviews out of the way and do all the paperwork at the end of the day... Everybody works a little different.
By the way - the IO didn't take my wife's EAD, AP, or I-94 *until* she had to put the stamp in the passport, then she took the I-94 while she was somewhere else in the office with my wife's passport. We've still got both copies of the AP docs and her EAD.
Kaylee- if you don't hear from them right away don't be alarmed. sometimes, it has nothing to do with you. in one person's case, after her interview, the IO met with an accident and was out of office for 2 months so she didn't get her approval or GC till the IO came back from sick leave.
That is very poor organization and process flow by USCIS. If somebody is out for an extended time, their workload should be transferred to other people.
