If the FO has now requested your KCC file (after your interview), it means they have the information they need to adjudicate your petition. It’s not unusual for the case file to be requested after the interview takes place.

You can attempt a walk in, but don’t be disappointed if you’re not allowed into the building. Keep your fingers crossed and hope you get approved soon.
 
Hi mom
I've had an interview. Everything was fine (name/address check was completed also). Officer said that he will try to make decision by EOD, also he said that overall things looks good (and visas are available).
I'm the main applicant. Now I see that my wife's status changed to "new Card is being produced", while mine remains "Application ..., was completed, and your case must be reviewed " (it was a previous status for my wife).
How do you think, do i have reasons to worry? or its just a matter of time to receive the same notification my wife got? Is it worth to create info pass app just in case (it's only available for last week of September)?
P.S. I'm going to share my experience and timeline later.
Thanks.

No worries on the case status online tool not updating - mine didn't change from 'Fingerprint fee received' until the card was mailed out two days after my interview. You can create an infopass just in case (I did that too) and then cancel if you get your card by then!
 
Hi MOM,
I'm happy to say we got our green cards. Our interview was an easy one and it took less than 20 minutes. He just went through questions on I-485s and told us he will need to review our case further and put our case on decision pending. After about 2 weeks, we got welcome letters and after about 1 more week we received green-cards. We are so grateful for your guidance. Thank you so much for all the help. And the spreadsheet was awesome, we learnt a lot about the process through that.

Thank you for the update. Congratulations
 
Hello mom,

I've got 2 forms of I-134. Both of them from my friends from high school. One of them got citizenship couple of month ago, another friend is getting it in 1-2 years.

I don't have a fax and suggested them to type through PDF and put signature as their names (not with pen). Will that work? What do you think? And will 2 forms of supports where they clicked on: Wholly support for me, is a good advantage for me?

Thanks,

I recommend you to go to your FO explaining the sensitive situation to let you in.

It is better to have an actual signature and not the typed name on the signature line.

Yes selecting the I intend to fully support option is a good one.

Hope you know you cannot combine or submit two I-134, only one will be accepted. So make sure you have one that meets the poverty guideline requirements level applicable to you and your sponsor’s household.
 
I think I am going to get denial letter because my office will not help me to expedite my case.
I requested expedite request through phone and I get response today after calling customer service number that my office will send me mail to my address next week explain to let that they will not approve my case without FBI name check done.
I don’t understand why they are going to reject my case and many people get their GC with expediate name check.

I see. So probably will have to chose the one who is citizenship already right ? And if they don’t have any real estate like houses or something shall they just skip on that part ?
 
I just called the FBI customer service and he told me let USCIS contact us about your case and we will reply to them within 24 hours.
I don’t understand why my office doesn’t like to help with this matter. According TO USCIS website diversity visa can request expedite name check. But they didn’t help me.

You have no way of knowing if your IO did not already request the expedite on their own - I can’t recollect the number of times I’ve stated a petitioner cannot Request a name check expedite on their own, but you and a couple of others here chose to believe otherwise. You need to understand expediting the background check is at the discretion of the FO AND the decision to do so depends on how complicated the initial background check result is.

Also the fact that the FO is reaching out to the FBI to expedite the check does not always immediately result in it being done in a timely manner - the background check really CANNOT be rushed. No FBI agent or IO is willing to risk their job by clearing people with dubious background - don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you have a dubious background check. Background checks requirements got tightened following 9/11.

By the way, country are you chargeable to? Is your country of origin one of those currently under the EO travel ban? Have you been to any of those countries? Does your degree or what you’re studying one of those in the TAL category?

Meeting the PGL has nothing to do with the sponsor being a USC or LPR - it has to do with their income and/or asset as the case may be. Your sponsors income is expected to be 125% above the applicable guideline level based on you and your sponsor’s household like I stated before. Review the attached Affidavit of Support for further guidance.
