Rescheduling Adjustment of Status Interview

[danielle1988 0]

Hello!

My cousin is currently out of the country to return November 15. Today in the mail he received a letter for an interview for Adjustment of Status on October 25. He is traveling on a Travel Document. I was wondering if he could reschedule this interview for a later date without the case being closed because he did not go to the interview? Thank you very much for your help

Refer to the section, YOU MUST APPEAR FOR THIS INTERVIEW, toward the bottom of the Form I-797c Appointment Letter, for information about rescheduling circumstances and procedure.

Rescheduling is usually not in the best interest. Personally I would tell your cousin to come back early.

What could potentially happen if he did reschedule?? Sorry I am not very familiar with immigration laws and ways.

There have been cases where someone has called and / or written to USCIS asking for their interview to be rescheduled, but for whatever reason that did not make it to where it needed to go and so they received a denial letter in the mail a few days later for not appearing. It's a fairly common occurrence since USCIS is so poorly organised.

If it's at all possible you should have your cousin return to the US for his interview; only if it's some kind of situation that is extremely urgent / important that he cannot leave, should he attempt to reschedule.

For most people, their green card interview would come at the top of the list of their priorities.
