regarding Interviews exceptions

So I have a question regarding the AOS interview process. From the AOS guide it says:

"Interview Exception. In some cases a beneficiary's Adjustment of Status case may be transfered to the California Service Center (possibly another location) where the CIS will attempt to complete processing without requirinig an "in person" interview. There is no particular way to know if this will happen to your case however if this does happen then you will not be required to attend an interview in person. If the I-485 is approved the beneficiary's green card will simply be mailed to them. "

I recently moved and changed addresses and when I did so, after changing my address with USCIS, I received a notice saying they'd received the change of address and that our case would be moved to the California Service Center. Does this mean there will no longer be an interview necessary? Also, are interviews standard with a K-1 AOS?

Hello, from what I have read and seen on here, if your file is transferred to California you more than likely will not have an interview. That is what happend with our case, it got transferred and then we received a notification that the Green Card was approved and then we received it in the mail without having to interview. I hope this helps.

An Interview is not always necessary. Our case was transferred to CSC and we did not have an Interview. In fact, we did not have one for Removal of Conditions (10 yr Green Card) either

I was told that K-1s who have had their interviews in embassy's to prove existence of relationship don't have interviews when they do AOS.

Anyone know if that is true? in all cases?

thanks for all the help everyone....

doubtful because ALL k1 applicants have interviews so based on your rationale no-one would have an AOS interview.

NOT TRUE. Many are still selected to prove that the relationship/marriage is real.
