Hello all,
My wife and I recently had our initial interview for adjustment of status. The officer was very nice, it was very comfortable and we were even joking around. We had a lawyer present and brought a huge binder with lots of information. The packet we originally sent to immigration had a lot of information as well, such as joint house, bank account, pictures of vacations etc. She just asked super basic questions like what is your name, DOB, address etc. The whole interview lasted about 20 minutes and she didn't even ask where or how we met. We had 3 interview times (for the wife and kids) that spanned a total of an hour and a half, but then only after 20 minutes of the interview she said that there was not enough time to go through the binder. After the basic questions were over, she said all she needs to do is double check the documents with her supervisor incase she missed anything and we should get our approval letter in the mail in one week. She then explained on how to remove the conditional residency in the future, etc and if we want to travel before the green cards come then to get a stamp etc etc. She did not give us a further review letter and we were not separated.
My questions are:
1.)Do they not approve on the spot with a passport stamp? Why is the approval letter mailed?
2.)Is our case approved? Has anybody else been told that the officer has to check it with a supervisor? I'm thinking she is maybe a junior officer and wants the documents checked again.
Thanks all for your input.
