Most types of immigration benefits require an interview with an immigration officer, either at a local field office in the U.S. or at an U.S. Embassy or Consular office abroad. Some of the immigration benefits we are referring to include: applying for a green card, applying for citizenship, applying to remove conditional residency, applying for battered spouse, etc. After the immigration interview, there are many different scenarios or actions an officer can take on your pending case. Below are six different actions that can be taken on an immigration case after the interview: Show

For example, my officer said “congrats” after the interview even though we were held for review. Lots of officers are simply bureaucratic as can be and don’t give anything away on the spot as to approval/denial. Your impression that the officer was unhappy with your responses is likely incorrect and/or overthinking and you’ll likely get an approval notification soon.

not true, mine didn't get held at all, actually officer interviewed us told me clearly that I should be able to see approved information on USCIS website in 24 hours. And he also mentioned I should be able to receive 10 year greed card in less than 2 weeks, which all turned out to be true.

Everyone gets held for review. As I said, some officers divulge more than others at the conclusion of an interview. Even if they flat-out say “you will be approved,” the applicant is still technically held under review until the officer processes the change in the system.
Anyway, congrats OP!

thanks for comment, here is part of my case status on USCIS. I went to green card interview on April 28th. Officer never said anything like"You will be approved". " April 29, 2021 We approved your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. April 28, 2021 We ordered your new card" Edited May 18, 2021 by Alienbiteme

Sigh.
It’s standard procedure for applicants to be held for review after an I-485 interview. How long the case is held for review varies. Some cases are held for review for 30 minutes. Others for 24 hours. Others for a couple weeks. Some applicants don’t even know they were held for review because approval can come quickly after the interview.
Just because your status tracker updated to “approved” shortly after your interview doesn’t mean you weren’t held for review. From the time your interview finished, your case was technically held for review until the finalized approval was processed in the system. Unless the officer literally finalized the approval while you were sitting in the room, which would be uncommon, you were held for review. What does it mean when USCIS is reviewing your case?It simply means that the case manager requested additional information from your employer, USCIS received evidence in response to the query, and the case manager is currently reviewing the new information.
How long does it take for USCIS to make a decision after interview?Technically, the USCIS has to provide you with a decision on your naturalization application within 120 days of your naturalization interview. In a green card application, the USCIS is supposed to provide you with an official notification of their decision within 30 days of your interview.
How long does it take to review I 485 after interview?Form I-485 Processing Time
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.
Why is USCIS taking so long after interview?Many factors may affect how long it takes USCIS to complete an application, petition or request, such as the number of applications, petitions, or requests we receive, workload and staffing allocations, the time a benefit requestor takes responding to a request for more information, as well as policy and operational ...
