Hi everyone,

We just received our initial interview notice in the mail today.

Although we got married in a civil service for the AOS application, we planned a bigger wedding ceremony with all our friends and family for this summer. Our interview date is the day before the wedding which is a seven hour drive away.

All of our friends and family will be at our rehearsal dinner without us. Has anyone had any experience in rescheduling their initial inteview date and if so, how did it go? Did you have to resubmit evidence etc? How is the interview process in Denver? Thanks for all your help.

Do not reschedule your interview..... even if you write in asking for it to be rescheduled the chances are this information will not get passed to your case and the next thing you know is your will get a denial letter in the mail.... change your wedding plans or let the rehersal dinner happen without you... it is more important for you to attend the interview....

Do a search for other that have been denied for the very reason you have stated.... it is then very dificult to get thing sorted out... most end up starting the AOS all over again and paying all over again....

Hope you can work something out

Is your interview in the morning? Go to it and THEN drive to your wedding location... otherwise you'll have to change the wedding plans because rescheduling anything with USCIS is a huge gamble. They have trouble even telling the time of day, and resetting a calendar seems to be beyond them.

STAGE 2B - Applying for AOS to GC Approval - 9 months, 4 days (279 days)

I think it would be far easier to reschedule the wedding than reschedule with USCIS! :lol:

I'd go to the interview, if you miss then you could seriously end up with a denial notice in the post...its not worth it. Most interviews are really simple, hopefully you'll be done in no time and on your way home.

Good luck!
