Just got my interview letter and I shouldn't of said "Hope the interview is not scheduled for when I actually go back to the UK this Christmas." because that is exactly what they did. I have called to reschedule and they submitted a request but said that they could deny my request to reschedule and that if they do I could end up being denied and have to do the process from the start all over again. So not nerve racking at all. All they could say was I should hear within 30 days. Anyone else been in this situation with their interview?

Sorry to hear, that sucks. USCIS and their inflexibility can be such a pain to deal with. They expect you to drop everything when they finally decide to call you in for an interview.

 

In the summer they scheduled my biometrics for RoC while I was in Europe. And rescheduling was such a mess. They were supposed to call me back in 20 days (now apparently 30 days?), and I had my phone ready night and day waiting them to call…and of course they call WHILE I WAS ON A FLIGHT BACK TO THE US, smh 🤦🏼‍♂️ 

 

Hopefully the Tier 2 agent gets back to you in a timely fashion. They should really have a better understanding how important it is for us to visit home, especially with Covid possibly limiting our chances further (..and from European standpoint awful PTO policies of most US employers…)

 

Let me try to find a screenshot of my interview letter. For me it did say something like that USCIS is not supposed to count it against you if you have to reschedule an interview.

 

Edit: Under “YOU MUST APPEAR FOR THIS INTERVIEW”, it does say that “There is no penalty for requesting that your appointment be rescheduled”, but I don’t know if this refers to their Covid protocol or is it in general?

Picture of interview letter

Getting there, slowly but surely...  (I hope )

 

Together (well...mostly the Transatlanticism kind of together) Since 12/2013

 

CR-1:

 

Married in Sweden 8/2017
(Well Frontloaded) I-130 Sent 12/2017
CR-1 Approved 10/2018
POE LAX 01/11/2019

 

I-751:

 

I-751 Package Sent with UPS 11/11/2020
I-751 Received by the AZ Lockbox 11/13/2020
I-751 Check Cashed 12/31/2020
I-797 (with My Last Name Misspelled...) Received by Mail 1/2/2021

Biometrics Appointment Received by Mail...too bad I am in Europe right when it's supposed to take place 🤯 6/14/2021

Rescheduled Biometrics Appointment, the biometric technician can't change the misspelled name on file, but he enters the correct spelling of my last name as an alias 8/2/2021

Interview Ready to Be Scheduled 10/13/2021

(Two Days Later) Interview Was Scheduled 😱 10/15/2021

I-751 Interview, Petition Approved 🥳 11/19/2021

Case Status Changed to New Card Is Being Produced 11/19/2021

Case Status Changed to Case Was Approved 11/22/2021

Green Card Arrived in the Mail (Name Correctly Spelling, w00t) 11/27/2021

 

When USCIS Misspells Your Name:

 

Typographical error form filled on USCIS website 1/4/2021
Contacted USCIS if there has been any progress since THEIR error (Received a Tier 1 tracking number) 2/6/2021
Contacted USCIS again as the issue remains to be resolved (Received ANOTHER Tier 1 tracking number) 3/12/2021
Apparently USCIS chat is worthless; CALLED USCIS, Tier 1 agent promised that a Tier 2 agent would call me 4/28/2021
Received a call from a nice Tier 2 officer who said I may or may not get a correct extension letter, but just in case I would be scheduled an InfoPASS appointment 5/4/2021
Went to local USCIS service center and had to deal with a nasty and entitled customer service agent who refused to give me an I-551 stamp. National Benefits Center is supposed to mail me another I-797 within 7-10 days... So I had to waste my day, taking buses for two hours one-way just to deal with this lady's attitude? 5/7/2021

After anxiously monitoring our mailbox for a few days I DID receive a corrected I-797, w00t! All documents good to go ✅ Vaccinated ✅ Ready to visit my parents in Europe for the first time in 17 months!! ✅ 5/13/2021

The lesson: Don't use the chat for anything complicated, AND keep hassling USCIS for a response...

Yeah my letter says the same thing. I may just call up and be like, I'm sick, on the day haha. But doing some research some lawyers have said that pre-planned travel does count as a valid reason. So let's wait and see. But there is no way I am cancelling my trip.

I see you have no Timeline! When did you actually file your i-751? IOW, how long did you have to wait for the interview? Thx

Update: My request to get my interview rescheduled was granted but have been stuck on Ready to Schedule for 10 days after the last one took only 5 so will have to wait and see what happens. I may file my N400 in the meantime.

Is over two months an abnormally long time to be waiting for an interview date? We've been stuck at "Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview" since Sept 30.

Lol, waiting for a year as of now...
