After the marriage-based green card interview, the officer may approve your application on the spot or inform you that your case needs additional review. If approved, you’ll typically receive an official notice, followed by your green card in the mail within a few weeks. Sometimes, USCIS may need more information or issue a Request for Evidence (RFE) if they need clarification on specific details, such as missing documents or inconsistencies noted during the interview. If additional information is required, respond quickly and thoroughly to avoid further delays.
If your case is approved, and you’ve been married for less than two years, you’ll receive a conditional green card that is valid for two years, after which you’ll need to apply to remove conditions.
