What does interview was completed and my case must be reviewed mean

Can someone help me to understand please? I am freaking out! Why would they send me a work authorization and travel document now if my case was to be approved?

No reason to freak out.  Your I-485 is processed by your local office.  EADs are processed by the National Benefits Center.   Some people have gotten EADs after their Green Cards were approved.

none that i know of except that i was previously married to someone 21 years ago. My ex-wife  had petitioned for me and the case was denied. They did ask me about that during the interview which caught me by surprise cause i did not expect them to ask about my exwife whereabout. It has been over 21 years.

I was living in Haiti back then and my wife was in America. they did not believe the marriage was legit because i had a child with an other woman. however my wife moved back to Haiti  we stayed together for  15 years.

Okay.  I don't see how that alone would attract extra scrutiny.

 

You could try asking your senator's office for help with making an inquiry, or try to book an info pass, or ask for help from the ombudsman.  Three months post-interview seems excessive.

 

At least with your approved combo card you can now work.

It’s been three months since my AOS interview and my status still “Interview was completed and my case must be reviewed” . I found out that my I-765 Application for Employment Authorization and I-131 Application for Travel Document have been Approved 5 days ago. i received the card today,

Can someone help me to understand please? I am freaking out! Why would they send me a work authorization and travel document now if my case was to be approved?

I actually went through the Adjustment of Status 2 years ago with a somewhat similar experience of you. The officer conducted the interview and after the interview he handed us the paper saying "interview was completed and case needs further review". We were so worried and disheartened but after 1 year and 2 months we received a notice requiring us for a second interview. As far as the EAD card, I was able to renew it because I think it's a different entity and as long as your case is pending they will approve your ead card. You should know how you guys did during the interview if you think you've given enough evidence to convince the officer that your marriage/relationship is bonafide. 

What does it mean when USCIS is reviewing your case?

When you submit your paperwork to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), you can expect the agency to review your paperwork and supporting evidence, assess your qualifications, and take other steps to determine if they will approve you. Still, many people log online, see a status update, and think, “Help!

How long does it take USCIS to review a case after interview?

Posted by Frank Gogol in Immigrants | Updated on November 15, 2022. At a Glance: The time it takes the USCIS to make a decision on your application depends on a lot of factors. The USCIS is supposed to provide you with a decision within 120 days of your naturalization interview.

How long does it take to review I

You can expect the total processing time for the I-485 to be at least 8-14 months. It may take four to six weeks for USCIS to accept your request and send you an acknowledgment of receipt. You will then receive a notice of your biometric appointment, which you must attend.

What does it mean case under review?

A case that is undergoing judicial review, is one in which the Court is reviewing these issues. This process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending upon how many cases are submitted to the Court at any given time. Typically, cases are reviewed in the order in which they are received by the Court.
