update on interview reschedule

[rubiconcrosser 0]

Since so many people are afraid of rescheduling interviews, I thought I'd give my update on how my move from west to east coast is influencing the process. I moved after I received my interview notice. I notified them of my address change online and for the petitioner also in paper. I also put in a call to request an interview reschedule due to address change. I received confirmation of this interview reschedule request saying they had changed my address by email. To make sure this also meant my file was being transferred to the new jurisdiction I called and was able to talk to an officer, who was extremely helpful. He said my file was making its way to the new jurisdiction, and that it could take a while (max 3 months) for a new interview notice to go out. This is no problem to me since I already received my work card at the new address.

In sum; it looks like everything is going smoothly. Although more stressful than not moving, if you have to move don't worry too much, as long as you put in the right calls/address changes, and make sure to follow up. I did also receive a response to my reschedule request by email from that local office.

Looks like USCIS is doing a great job in my case.

Good luck all.

I hope it works out... but don't count your chickens!

second update:

Still have not received the new interview notice from the East Coast office. Called again to reconfirm all is well; the lady on the phone said my file was indeed at the new location and all I should do is wait.

The wait is getting long though. It's now been 9 weeks since the original interview was scheduled. Any advice on what to do to speed things up/check up on things? Schedule an infopass appointment or such?

Me and my wife were planning to go a family wedding outside the US. I have the Advance Parole document. Would you people recommend against traveling? It would be for 2 weeks max so the chance that both the letter will arrive during that period and the interview scheduled seems very small.

I would risk using it (assuming you dont' have any 180 days of overstay between your I-94 expiring and applying for AOS). i agree that it's unlikely that you would get the interview letter (IF you get an interview) and have that interview scheduled so quickly. I suggest you have someone checking your mail though.

Agreed with having someone checking your mail. Usually the interview notice arrives about 4 weeks before the interview.

Good luck and thank you for sharing!

Thought I'd do another update: still haven't had the interview.

It's been a very long time now, and I put in two service requests for the Philadelphia office. The first one said they'd reply within 60 days, but all I got was an email that I had already received my temporary employment card.

Put in another request via the customer service line, this time I got a reply in a week saying that the file was at the Philadelphia office and another 60 days waiting period to receive another notice.

Is there any way I can speak to the Philadelphia office directly or have them contact me in some way to clarify what's going on. Would I have to make an infopass appointment.

To make matters worse, I may move to the West Coast again soon.

Thanks for any pointers.

Still haven't heard anything except that the file is at the east coast office and I should get a notice in 60 days.

I already had this 60 days notice before. Does anyone have any idea on how to help speed this up?

Make an INFOPASS @ Philly office.
