Hello,

I visited my country and came back today with my husband.

I stayed in my country for two months and half

because my husband took a university language course to learn my language.

We thought the interview would be much later.

Anyway, today I found a letter (Notice of Action) that shows I missed my interview for green card three weeks ago.

I don't know what I should do. I am in a panic since I found out this.

Please help me.

My field office for the interview was Salt Lake City.

Is there anybody who knows the phone number for Salt Lake City office?

You have gotten yourself into a horrible situation. You are also very lucky I believe that missing the interview causes the case to be closed? and that makes you AP invalid and means you can get denied entry to the US.

I read a horror story from (I think Tay Rivers) about a couple who ran into major issues because of this.

Make an infopass and find out if your application has been closed/abandoned/denied.

Jina what does the letter say? does it tell you what is happening with your case now? have you checked USCIS online case status?

Best advice is to make an InfoPass appointment.

Not sure calling the field office will do a lot of good - there should be a customer service number on the NOA/Appointment Letter also.

The K3 visa is still valid, so no worries there. As suggested make an InfoPass appointment to learn if your petition is still viable or you have to start over.

I just wanted to add that when you attend the infopass appointment you should bring ALL of your evidence with you. Evidence pertaining to your AOS as well as documentation that you and your hubby were out of the country (board pass, passport stamps, class enrollement/payment) when the notice and interview date arrived. This way, you will have anything they may request on hand.

Nicoxcs,

Thank you very much for your help.

The only thing I got is I-797C, Notice of Action.

I just know that I missed the interview because I-797C asked me to appear on July 27, which I failed to show up.

After I read all the helpful advice from this forum, I just made an infopass and set up an appointment.

So I will meet an officer at Salt Lake City office tomorrow.

Thank you very much again.

Thank you very much, Otto und Karin.

Yes, there is a phone number of USCIS National Customer Service Center (1-800-375-5283) on I-797C Notice of Action.

So I called yesterday and talked to a representative, but she wasn't very helpful.

She didn't know very much, and just told me to send a letter to the address on the envelope (explain why I couldn't show up for the interview).

I asked whether I had to send a copy of Notice of Action or any extra evidence to prove why I couldn't show up, but she didn't have any answers.

Thank you again.

Thank you very much, Anh map

I hope I don't need to start over.

Fortunately, my K-3 visa is still valid.

When I entered the U.S., I had to go to a secondary inspection office,

not because anything was wrong but the first immigration officer was very inexperienced.

The immigration officer made some mistake while taking my fingerprint, and asked me to go to the secondary inspection office for fingerprint.

So I went to the office, and the officer who interviewed me kept saying he didn't know why I was there.

He checked some data on the computer and let me go.

He just said I need to get a green card because K-3 is valid only for two years.

As you suggested, I just made an InfoPass appointment.

I will go to the Salt Lake City office tomorrow.

Thank you very much again for your help.

Thank you very much for your help, reeses16.

Your advice was very useful for me.

I just made an infoPass appointment. I am going to the Salt Lake City office tomorrow with my husband.

I will bring our passports (my husband's and mine), our boarding passes, and class payment.

Thank you very much again.

My InfoPass appointment is tomorrow. I will let you know how it went tomorrow.

The appointment is at the Salt Lake City field office at 12:20 PM.

I prepared I-797C, our boarding passes, flight itinerary, copies of our passport stamps for the trip,

and Certificate of Admission of the language class that my husband took.

Is there anything else that I should bring?

Thanks.

Let us know how the InfoPass appointment went today...

Hello Jina, My God, I'm sorry what is happenning for you with this inconvinient, I will pray for you. I hope this insight helps out in something, but PLEASE YOU NEED HELP FROM AN IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY, IN CASE YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE. Ok, first of all, I don't know if your case right now you have it with an immigration attorney, I am telling you this because unfortunately, your case is going to get worse and you need it someone good asap, even more, if you got it for 2 weeks ago is better. Ok, I am not sure, a friend happen this case exactly. Upon the USCIS, it is supposedly the person who do not go to the appointment or biometrics included fingerfrints, they assume your case is abandoned. Anyway, I think you have to submit a petition where you have to ask for a special waiver or reopen of your case, it is going to cost you some money the fee, I think I am not pretty sure. Anyway, I think it is a good idea to add everything you have with you about your trip to your country of origin, included board pass, tickets, stamps on your country passport for the arriving to the U.S. (I refer to the stamp that immigration gave you on the stamp, so you can show that you were outside the U.S., and you were not joking around here). I am going to place this sign very big way, YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFULLY WITH EVERYTHING; IN CASE THEY REOPEN YOUR CASE, YOU CANNOT MISS OTHER APPOINTMENT OR WHATEVER WITH THEM, OR ELSE AND UNFORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE THE FREE TICKET OF THE DEPORTATION TO YOUR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. PLEASE LIKE WE SAY IN MY COUNTRY COLOMBIA, YOU HAVE TO "PUT THE BATTERIES ON" AND "PUT ON THE CANNON" RIGHT AWAY, MUCH BETTER, SINCE ABOUT YOU REALIZED ABOUT THE BIG AND HUGE MISTAKE. I have heard that the most of the cases, immigration helps out and reopen the case, of course you have to pay the expensive fee for that; after that, you cannot have any mistake with them regarding of missing to something or you are done. Even, I can tell you that I almost do not arrive to my appointment on Immigration in Philadelphia, PA on the Saturday in March of this year. My car was wrecked down in the way to Philly and thanks to God, my cousin that God sent him, he could pick me up and made me the ride, I was exactly at 10:30 a.m. on time in Philly, That is God. Please take care and do not let to trust on God never, bye,
