Online status after 2nd interview still shows we are ready to schedule your Form I-485...for an interview

[Lisalisa04 1]

We had our first interview in March 2019 then second interview June 2019. We check our status online almost daily. The message online has read, "We are ready to schedule your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number ##, for an interview" after our first interview and after our second interview. Today finally we can see the date updated to show the most recent status as of July 3, 2019 however the message remains the same! They only updated the date but not the message! Has anybody experienced this as well? Is there such a thing as a 3rd interview? If our application was denied would the website say "denied"?

We need to know from which visa you're adjusting.  Your thread can then be moved to the appropriate forum.

My husband came to the US on a tourist visa, we got married during the time the visa was still valid, then a few months later his tourist visa expired and we started the process for the I-485 and I-130. We went to interview #1 then three months later we went to interview #2 which we feel we did very good and now status says we are in queue for interview #3.

I don't think I've ever heard of three interviews, but if your application were rejected, you'd receive a notice of intent to deny. 

 

Out of curiosity, what happened during the first interview, and what happened during the second? Were you separated for both? Did they ask Stokes interview questions? What was the problem they were trying to address, the validity of the marriage or something else?

First interview was short maybe 15min long.

 

Second interview was a full blown stokes interview, we were separated about an hour each, he went first, I went second. At the end of the interview the officer said we did good and the website should be updated in 1-7 days. 

 

3 weeks later the website was updated to say we are in queue to be scheduled for a 3rd interview. 

 

If anybody has been denied I would like to know what the website said.

it might be a glitch in the system or its not just been updated. never heard of 3 interviews. what questions were asked in your second interview?

So I just now got an email from immigration which reads:

 

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS 

Your Case Status: Testing and Interview 

On July 11, 2019, we scheduled an interview for your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS, Receipt Number MSC#######. We will mail you an interview notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice.

 

THIS WILL BE INTERVIEW #3!! How does one even prepare for this? Nobody on here has been to a third interview.

Do you have any updates? Have you called them to ask for when the interview was scheduled, and whether (the tier 2 rep) has any more information? 

 

It's possible people have had three interviews, but I personally have never heard of that. I wonder if it's more of an RFE (bring X, but do it in person). Otherwise, having two Stokes interviews just seems overkill. You passed or you didn't, and you have no NOID.

We called before this last update on their website and were transferred to Tier 2 who confirmed we were in queue to be scheduled for a third interview but could not say why. He said he would open a ticket so someone could email with information. This request still hasn't been assigned to anybody to do. We are now just waiting on the letter to see what it says.

Unusual.

 

When your husband crossed the border / entered the country what exactly did he tell the officer there about his intentions to return?
