After the interview at SF center - no case status update or anything in the mail from MSC

Hi everyone!

I had a question about receiving updates in the mail and checking the case status online. This is for my Marriage-based GC interview at the San Francisco office. My service center is Missouri MSC.

I had my interview for marriage based GC on May 27th. The interview was short and went very well. The IO said that everything was in order, though I needed to have my dr resend USCIS my medical reports again as the dr had missed some fields on the medical form. The IO said many drs were missing some fields on the recently updated forms. The IO then gave me a form which said that I needed the medical examination resent and which also had the "Further review" box checked. The IO said I should get something in the mail within 10 days of USCIS getting the new medical report.

I immediately went and had my dr resend the medical report with everything filled out. The USCIS acknowledged the receipt of the new fully filled medical form on June 2nd.

It is June 18th today and I have not received anything in the mail yet. The online USCIS case tracker hasnt been updated in months and still shows my case as having been on the "Accepted on March 17th" stage, even though Ive already done the finger printing and the interview. Calling the 1-800 number for status updates says the same thing, that I applied on March 17th and that a letter was mailed to me regarding finger printing.

Do you know why I havent gotten anything in the mail yet, or why the online status tracker hasnt updated at all? I wonder if this is a bad thing, or if the San Francisco field office [or the Missouri Process Center MSC] is taking longer than usual to send out mails after the interviews?

Thanks!

I think u will be OK if u intrview went well. Dont sweat the online tracker, its broken and randomly updates if ever. I was naturalized in jan 2010, and my onle status still says application rcvd status. read the last 1-2 pages of march filers thread as smbdy had same medical form problem and received same under reveiw form as u, after intrvw, i think it was ca_guy/

so relax!! (try to!)

Hi there! Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate it!

A question: the IO kept my I-94. Does that mean anything, like accepted or something? Do they always keep the I-94 or do they keep it when they have made a decision?

Thanks!

Thanks! Hi John,

To share with you - I sponsored my wife and after our interview, which happened early this month, her I-94 was taken by the officer though no approval yet. Her case is different than yours as she has two adjustment of status at the same time (the one from employer was cancelled). I understand that as the decision for GC is near, it is part of the interviewer routine to collect I-94. I share your worry and frustation of the wait (uncertainty). One other thing, the officer gave us a letter instructing us follow up with infopass if 30 days passed - without decision.
