NEED ADVICE ON DENIAL SITUATION!!!!!!!

[ntcb 1]

After waiting so long to hear from uscis... I got a letter saying that I was denied because of an missed interview.

Mine you I have not received any interview  letter, everyday I check the mailbox religiously and nothing. I will have to be real stupid to knowing how important this is to miss that.

I'm going frantic now cause I really don't know what to do...

Has anyone been in this situation or similar ? What did you do ? and the outcome? Thanks

It wasn't the reason for my denial, but I missed an interview yes, as I didn't receive a letter they claim was sent, despite never missing a single other piece of USCIS mail...

I only discovered I had missed it at an infopass a few weeks later but they said it was ok as long as I didn't miss another....perhaps I caught it early enough?

 

Can you fill in your timeline? It makes helping somewhat difficult sometimes without knowing any timeline or circumstance. Was yours a joint filing or a divorce waiver?

 

Anyway don't panic too much - you can file another I-751, you can file a motion to re-open, or a few other things.

Don't leave the US at this time either.

 

 

Is your profile correct and you in NYC? I have an infopass appointment for later this week at federal plaza if you want it - I no longer need it. May help you out being able to actually speak to someone.

Hi...thanks 

They said they sent me 2 letters one for the interview and another one stating that I have 30 days to respond why I didn't show up. This is so strange to me cause I didn't receive none of those 2. But I receive the DENIAL letter.

It was a joint filing and yes I am in MY.

I was looking online for info pass but none was available. What day and time is yours?

The only reason I can see it from here why you did not receive the interview letter is if you moved to another address and did not update your address, but if you did not move then its USPS fault and did not send to you the interview letter. As far as I know I hope I'm correct, your online status will change and update that they sent you interview notice. Well that's what I experienced for my AOS.

Nope.

For the I-751, online status does not update with interview scheduled either - it does not change until card production.

 

Hell, if I put in my first I-751 receipt number, despite three interview notices (one of which as above, never arrived), and a denial of that I-751 it still says

"On xxxxx, 2015, we received your Form CRI-89, Petition to Remove Conditions of Permanent Resident Status Received, Receipt Number EACxxxxxxxxxx, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your receipt notice by xxxxx, 2015, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address."

 

They certainly aren't the only one to have had interview notices or RFEs go walkies, or the suspicion that they were never actually sent in the first place. 

 

I didn't receive my second interview notice either (from the same office as well) despite having received every other single piece of USCIS mail, and USCIS doesn't really seem to care if it goes missing either.

 

 

 

OP, did you originally file at another address and subsequently do an AR-11, and if so, did you get confirmation by email or snail mail of the address change?

That's an uneasy thought. A benefit denied after years-long wait for something that began as germanely as not getting a piece of mail.

Happens more than you realise....usually with RFEs not received and the I-751 is denied as a result.

There are no updates 1751 , only when card is in production. Sucks huh..

Ok So my advice is: DO NOT FREAK OUT. 

Call USCIS and demand to talk to a tier 2 officer, tell them what happened and ask them if they could reschedule an interview. You could also schedule an infopass with USCIS if they are closed to you and take all paperwork you received from them and explain your situation and ask for a new date. 

It happens quite a bit and I think that USCIS need to change their postal services to a better company than USPS, since USPS will act like there was nothing wrong from their part. 

Sorry for the headache you have to go through, but make sure you do as I told you and don't wait for a long time give them 2 or 3 weeks and call again and ask if they scheduled your interview, if so ask for the date an time and than ask for a faxed copy if its close enough. 

[afrocraft 313]

Consider filing a service request for expedited review of your I-751 because of a USCIS administrative error. See information below. Because of the serious adverse consequences you now face (including removal proceedings), I would write the service center that adjudicated your I-751, sending via certified mail so someone signs for it. I would also appeal to your representative in Congress for help.

 

In your letter to USCIS:

• Ask for expedited review because of a USCIS administrative error;
• Explain that you did not receive an invitation to interview.
• Include the potential adverse consequences you face as a result of this USCIS decision (loss of employment eligibility, initiation of removal proceedings, separation from spouse, health?, etc.)
• Attach any relevant evidence.

also get USPS Informed Delivery - it is a life saver - I only learned about it a few weeks ago..... they basically send you ( on the app) scans of everything to be delivered.

Hi @mindthegap... i know you know abit about how this immigration stuff goes. Well I refile the i751, they sent me the NOA  with one year extension. My question to you is when will the year start). The first time I file it was for until March 2017. Then I got a stamp for it to expire March 2018. So now that I have refile, I'm not sure on the dates.

Thanks for your input...
