How long from letter to interview date? And how do you reschedule?

[Bullan 0]

So i'm going home on vacation over the summer and waiting for AP to be approved. Since I filed in NYC, my interview date will probably take a loooong time to schedule according to people on the board.

But as my hubby is coming over in July and staying a month, no one will be home to check the mail. So:

1. Do you get an email notification when your interview date has been sent out?

2. From recevieing the letter, how long is it usually til the interview? How many weeks in advance are you notified about your interview?

3. If interview date is in the middle of the summer when we're not here, can you reschedule and how do you do that SAFELY without risking a frack up from USCIS? Also is traveling a valid excuse to reschedule?

1. Maybe, but don't rely on email updates. They are unreliable.

2. Usually about a month's notice.

3. You follow the notices on the letter to reschedule. You will always risk an issue, though.

If we haven't recieved a acheduled date within the 30 days the say it takes, can we call/meet someone at the UScIS and ask them to not schedule anything until fall? Since we wont be home in July?
