Why does IsInRole always return false?

I had same kind of issue, then I got work it as below. The reason seems to be, the user not completely signin or completed all authentication process in this stage.

case SignInStatus.Success:
                {
                    var user = await UserManager.FindAsync(model.UserName, model.Password);
                    var roles = await UserManager.GetRolesAsync(user.Id)

                    if (user == null)
                        break;

                    if (roles.Contains("OfficeUser"))
                        break; // << I always hit this line - even if the user is an OfficeUser
