Hi everyone,
I just finished my first interview. My wife who is USC and I were seperatedly interviewed because I am currently in removal proceeding, maybe we were suspected at the very beggining. Anyway, we were asked many tricky questions which happened long time ago. We dont really remember exactly the answers, so some of the answers from us are not very consistent. At the end of the interview, Immigration officer gave me a letter that writes:

Please inquire after 30 days:
(1)The Service has determined that there is another immigration file that must be obtained and reviewed before your case can be adjudicated.
(2)An adjudicative review of your case is needed. No additional information is required on your part.
(3) You will be advised of the time and date of a second interview.

IO checked the first one, which means I was put on hold due to the first reason.
Some people told me, I might be arranged a second interview, but I doubt it because it's not the third reason for my case. So, does anybody know what the "another immigration" file is? Whether or not they need my final decision of my court since my court is going to be 10 days later? I am totally confused about what it is. Please help me! By the way, did anybody hear people were rejected after the first interview? Thanks in advance!
 
That was your interview to get your conditional Green card?

I think you are missing one of the documents that they asked you to take to the interview. Did you took all the documents they asked you in the interview notice?

Thanks for your response. That interview was my I-130 interview because I have to submit I-130 first since I am in removal proceeding. I can submit I-1485 after I_130 is approved.
I took all the documents there. I am wondering what they are gonna do during the following month. What does "another immigration file" really mean? Is that I-485? or something else? Thanks again.
 
Another thing that I can't think through is that why the immigration officer didnt tell us I-130 was approved but just gave us that paper showing "another immigration file must be obtained and reviewed". If she needs I-485, she would let us know on the spot that I-485 needs to be submitted. Does it make sense?
 
Hi, everyone, these days I kind of nervous and stressful after interview even though I saw many encouraging comments in this thread. I have three questions that I really want to know:
1) After the first interview, the case was put on hold. Does the fact that immigration officer took all the photocopies of supporting evidence mean we are OK?
2) Is there any possibility that the case is rejected after the first interview?
3) If there is a second interview, will we get a piece of paper showing a second interview will be arranged?
Thanks.......
 
You are ok, you probably won't believe it because when you are in those stressfull moment, believing someone is very dificult but like I told you if they took some documents from you it means you are ok. If they didn't take anything thing then you fall into the third category which is a stoke interview.

You said they mark you for 180 days? that 6 months

Well that probably means an an stokes interview will be schedule but like you say they took some documents from you which means they just have to make a decision or file review!!!
 
A1: Not neccessarily
A2: Most likely there will be a second interview before a final decision is made
A3: You will receive an interview notice if it happens

They took all the documents except medical examination. And they marked me 30 days. Specifically as follows:
Please inquire after 30 days:
(1)The Service has determined that there is another immigration file that must be obtained and reviewed before your case can be adjudicated.
(2)An adjudicative review of your case is needed. No additional information is required on your part.
(3) You will be advised of the time and date of a second interview.
She checked the first reason not third, which I think means I wont have a second interview. Does that make sense?
 
First they didn't marked a second interview they just on file review, i have realize that through different states they have different languages to express File review, Here in NY they call it "file review" in another state don't remember how they call it in your place they seem to call it
(1)The Service has determined that there is another immigration file that must be obtained and reviewed before your case can be adjudicated.

They mention the word review and adjudicated = decision.

Here they call it decision instead of adjudicated


You are good

You are going to get your approval letter or card produccion e-mail the least expected day you will see

haha... You cheered me up... Thanks.... Congratulations to you again!!!
You mentioned you are currently in removal proceedings. Can I ask why are you in removal proceedings? Did you ever applied for GC before this application? If you ever applied before, I think it is the old file they are talking about.
If you are already in removal proceedings, they will have to send your case to an immigration court but good thing is that since you are married to a USC, you will get the relief form removal. But you might need the help of a good Attorney.
