@Sm1smom I need your opinion.
We had our interview on august 30th. But the IO never took pictures or fingerprint before , during , or after the interview . Was that a normal ? Did they change the process ? Just wanted to confirm as we thought IO may have forgot

Yes, I think I remember doing that at the beginning of my interview.

Not Mom, but I could be wrong about my interview. So don't worry,

For what it’s worth, my case never changed to “case approved” and I got my card today

Sometimes, the changes are so rapid, people sometimes miss them. The status sometimes start with CPO, changes to approval, and back to CPO in rapid succession.

Those who recently attended the interview are in a better position to share their experience by responding to this question than I can.

Can confirm that at our interview (San Jose FO, September 8th) the IO definitely did not take our pictures or fingerprints. I can't recall anyone describing that happening at an interview in the last few months that I've been paying attention, tbh.

I don’t quite follow your question, which initial approval are you referring to vs case was approved update

On September 24th, my case status changed to "New Card is Being Produced". When I had a chat with Emma, they told me my case was approved on September 24th. Apparently there's another update that folks are getting (usually a day after "New Card is Being Produced" ) which is "Case was approved". My question is if Emma is saying my case was approved on the 24th, how's that update is different than the "case was approved" that people are getting after "New Card is Being Produced"?

In overall, it's a bit confusing to me how is this new card is being produced is different than the case was approved update since "new card is being produced" date is the date of issuance on the green card.

Sorry for causing an headache for you and other folks here. I know it's going to be alright. I was just confused about these terms.

No problem. My interview was more than four months ago, so as Mom said, those who recently attended the interview should be able to give you a better answer.

So I feel little worried ...

Goodness gracious! You’re obviously determined to be worried after all. You honestly need to stop trying to analyze or reading needless meanings to the different updates you’re reading about. That is simply how the online status update system is set up - CPO update shows up before case approved update following which it may change to something else. Some folks don’t even see or get the case approved update before the GC shows up as already been explained above by someone else.

Plus EMMA already confirmed your case was approved, so I’m not sure why you’re getting stressed on the case approved update which some have reported but you have not seen.
 
Only a few days left and still stuck at "interview was complete". I contacted the senators office a week ago for help, they also have not received a response from USCIS. The Hartford FO is probably making us wait until the last day!

my interview was on Sep 9 not in your FO though. But, definitely no fingerprints or picture were re-done. the picture on my GC is the one that was taken on the bio day. so might be case by case or change of process, but it's not something to worry about IMO.

Hi everyone
General question for all of you guys ; did the IO took picture and finger print for the both index ...

Our interviews were on August. IO didn't take any photos or fingerprints. Just went through oath taking and I-485 questions. The green cards have the photos and the fingerprints taken at the biometrics appointments.

I did take another picture and fingerprints during the interview but the picture I have on my GC is the one I took at the bio, not sure about the fingerprints though.

@Abdulmalik and @mellie11 I wish you guys all the best! Hartford FO made me struggle with waiting time too! Fortunately my journey was at the begging of FY
 
Guys! We just got the update for "New card is being produced" for me and my husband! We were waiting for three weeks for this moment. It was a hell of a ride!
This group is SALVATION! It is a group of therapy and I pray for all the other people who still wait! I send you all the good vibes, I know how you feel!!
Finally, we are going to visit our families.. It has been more than 2 years that we saw them!
Once again thank you! <3
