My wife did the interview today.
There were 2 officers. One lady that wrote everything down. Another lady that was checking a paper, while my wife was answering the questions.
At the end of interview, my wife asked them about the next steps, to which they replied:
We have all information we need now and we will send it for further review. If we need additional information and/or documentation, we will ask you.|
My wife then asked how long it would take to have a final answer and they said they were not able to answer this question.
Based on your experiences, isn't it normal to give the approval right after the interview?
We were a little frustrated, I admit.
If answer does not come right after, how long does it normally take?
Thanks a lot everybody.
