InfoPass Appointment result about a missed I-485 interview

[Jina 0]

I missed my interview (AOS application based on my marriage to a U.S. citizen)

because I was out of country with my husband for two months and half.

(My husband took a Korean Language program offered by a university during the period).

When I found out that I missed my interview, I was in a panic.

I asked for help in this VJ forum, and many gave me useful advice: Make an InfoPass appointment.

So I did right away and had the appointment yesterday at the Salt Lake City filed office.

I got there over one hour early than my appointment time,

but I could get in and meet an immigration officer without waiting b/c the office wasn't busy.

I told the officer that I missed my interview, and he asked me why.

I answered that I was out of country during the time of notice and interview.

I brought our boarding passes, passports (with stamps), itinerary, and pictures in case the officer asked for evidence,

but he didn't ask for anything and just said that I would get a new appointment notice to my address.

At the end, he gave a blank paper and asked me to write why I missed my interview.

I brought a letter that explained why and gave it to him. That was the end of the interview.

The officer wasn't mean. It seems like dealing with missed interviews was routine for him.

The entire interview took about 2~3 mins. I was so relieved after the meeting.

Thank you very much again, VJ.

Make sure you stay on top of this, and if in, say, three weeks or something, you don't get an interview, make another infopass appointment. You're the only one that's interested in your case and you have to make sure everything is going well. Good luck on your interview and i hope you get the new appointment soon.
