Q: If the USCIS officer doesn’t state your spouse’s 751 has been approved at the end of the interview is that a bad sign?

A: Hard to tell. It depends on the bona fides of your relationship and what transpired during the interview

A: If the USCIS officer does not explicitly state that your spouse's Form I-751 (Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence) has been approved at the end of the interview, it's important not to jump to conclusions. There are several reasons why an immediate decision might not be given.

Firstly, the officer may need more time to review the documents and information presented during the interview. This process can be complex, and additional time for consideration does not necessarily indicate a problem with the application.

Secondly, in some cases, the officer might need to consult with supervisors or colleagues before making a final decision. This is a normal part of their procedure and ensures that all aspects of the case are thoroughly evaluated.

It's also possible that further evidence or additional documents might be required. If this is the case, you should receive a request for evidence (RFE) from USCIS specifying what is needed.

In conclusion, the absence of an immediate approval does not automatically mean there's a problem with your spouse's application. Patience is key in this situation, and you should wait for official communication from USCIS regarding the status of the petition. If you have concerns, you can always follow up with USCIS for updates or seek guidance to ensure all necessary steps are being taken.
