Interview Reschedule Requested, but can go now?

[HelloKitty123 0]

I received an interview letter for my I-751 waiver case. I was out of the country at the time and so I wrote a letter requesting a reschedule, and my friend sent the letter for me just one week before the appointment date. It was an express mail and it was received by the immigration office the next day.

Right after the letter was sent, something happened and I changed my mind and plan to attend the interview.

I'm just wondering if the immigration will read the letter and reschedule my interview in 1 week, and when I show up at the interview, they'd be like "why are you here?"

OR I should go to the interview anyway. Would they still do the interview even if it is rescheduled?

I'm so confused

Look, no one can tell you one or the other is right. There have been cases where people sent their reschedule notice (AOS) and were denied for failing to show up at the interview because the notice didn't make it to the IO who was scheduled to interview them.

Where is friend's husband? What does he say about this? BOTH of them will have to attend the ROC interview. If she can come back and still make it to 7/13 interview, I'd say all the better.

You won't have anything to lose if you go and they tell you your appointment is being rescheduled BUT you have everything to lose if you don't go and they tell you your appointment was NOT rescheduled and therefore missed your appointment.

Agree

As long as you don't receive another letter of appointment for a different date, you're ok to go.

It happened to me on my initial GC interview, my company was sending me to training for 2 weeks, and I asked for a reschedule, but then training dates were changed, and I was able to go to the interview on initial date. Officer assured me that as long as I don't have a reschedule date I'm good.

Thank you guys. You guys are right.

I'm just wondering if my trip to the interview will be a waste of time, energy and money because I'm flying from another country. But oh well, I bought the plane ticket.

If I were you, I'd show up for the initial interview date. If you receive another interview date, show up for the first one anyway. At best they'll take you in, and at its worst, they'll send you back. I would definitely go. Good Luck!

I dunno, reschedules for the local office are problematic, at best.

Is difficult for the request to wind it's way to the scheduling officer, IMO.

IF yer in country on the initial date, bring a copy of the reschedule request letter with you, and go to the local office with the original letter, then see what's what.
