Hi,
I haven’t written much on the forum, but read every post and then decide to tell you my situation.
As you can see from my signature, I filed in January, and had an interview in the first week of April. We were there on time; the immigration officer was very nice and courteous. This was his first diversity visa case, so we would go slowly. Then we did the usual process, took the oath, go over every single item in 485 etc. Then, he asked about our I-94 and told us not to go out of the county without advance parole. However, he didn’t ask for any documents because he had everything in the file.
After that, he said he would approve our case but his supervisor was out of office so he would not stamp our passports and he would not approve that right away. However, he said congratulations, and told us to wait. We would hear from him in 6 days to 6 weeks. At the end of the interview, he said it will definitely be done by September, by the deadline of the diversity visa cases.
After the interview, we were very happy. We thought we had a good one, and expected to get our Green Cards very soon. Unfortunately, more than 6 weeks has passed to no avail.
I check the online status every day, it still shows the usual “fingerprint fee accepted…….” What should I do? Wait as he said? Or contact the local office? Congressman? What do you suggest?
Thank you very much in advance. I hope I’ll give you good news very soon.
Good luck to everyone in the process, and congratulations if you get your green card already.
