Hello,

 

so our case got approved and I got my green card back in March. But today we got a email saying that they are ready to schedule our I485 interview.

 

do you think this is a mistake? Why would they do this after giving me a green card and not before? Could this just be them not updating the system?

 

also to complicate things my wife and I are currently separated. I’m in full panic mode and not sure what to do. I can’t call due to the holiday weekend.

 

any advice?

Schedule a Infopass meeting with your local USICS office and discuss this matter with them.

 

Schedule an INFOPASS appointment through the following link:  https://my.uscis.gov/appointment  or

 

https://infopass.uscis.gov/

 

Or here.

InfoPass is a free service that lets you schedule an appointment with a USCIS Immigration Officer by using the Internet at any time of day or night. If you have an immigration issue that is best handled by a trained USCIS Immigration Officer, InfoPass will let you schedule your appointment online instead of requesting it in person at your local USCIS office.

InfoPass makes your life easier:

  • It’s free: Scheduling your own appointment costs you nothing
  • It’s convenient: Make your appointment via the Internet (from your laptop at home, or the computer at your local public library)

It is hard to tell where you are in your immigration journey. You are talking about I485 interview, yet you are posting in the K1 visa Progress Forum, one of the beginning K1 forums, not AOS-related. No-one can actually tell where you are in the process, your timeline is vacant. :time:You need to help other members actually understand where you are in the process. 

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)
