Interview has been scheduled...After Green Card is On Hand!

[Sarge2155 4,570]

Not sure what to make of this but my wife's GC was issued back in April with the so-called Interview wavier (I'm a September 2019 filer) there is also another September 2019 filer that this just happened to so I thought I had better make a thread about it. Anyway like I said the I-485 was approved and GC was issued back in April 2020 (during Covad ). All of a sudden yesterday the status on USCIS site changed from the post office delivered card to you, to interview was scheduled. I'm dumbfounded of course just like I was getting the wavier. We've been trying to call to speak with a Tier 2 officer but no luck. I'll keep trying of course.

 

I have a nagging suspicion that this is NO ERROR and we are going to be required to attend this interview once it is scheduled. Reason I say this is simple USCIS has nothing in their files to back up our approval i.e., no documents other than the basic requirements. I am thinking they USCIS want to gather what proofs and documents we have for their files. As I have said I am trying to get a read on this and trying to contact USCIS. It's not like the K1 where I was the petitioner and I could get the information myself, but now my wife is the one that has to inquire or at least give her permission to release this information to me. Going to the interview at this point would just be a slight hassle, as we have plenty of proofs and documents so no worries there. If this has happened to other folks who received the wavier please post here with the outcome of your call to USCIS. I will do the same once we can reach a Tier 2 officer. We have not gotten the interview date yet, but I'll post that here too! All I can say is what the!!!!!!🙃

But some reviewer has approved it so back filing the decision i suppose . seems to be a real formality to complete the paperwork

Yeah I am thinking they want to gather their paperwork from us for their records. Not a big deal as we have loads, just a bit of a hassle at this point.

seems like they are approving GC as they have to meet quotas. but this makes no sense. They are all over the places with their processes

Just when you think you can get on with your life for a bit, USCIS has other ideas 🤣😕

I'll say, I have no idea what to make of this!

Hehehehehe  we got plenty of those lol!

Hm, interesting. I'll keep this in mind - had started to file away documents for ROC but now I might have to get everything out again.

 

We only leave the house for grocery shopping every few weeks atm due to covid-19 still being a thing (and on the rise in our state as I understand). Not looking forward to travelling for an interview but if we must, we must.

Hi, I'm a june filler in NY and I'm still waitting an answer. Do you remember which site has your paperwork? Mine is in Lee Summit, MO and in which state are you? 

 

I also think this are other things that may apply. I belive they approved your case with what they already have. If they want the proof and other papers now, they can ask you to submit it through regular mail. Believe me if they want something, they will contact you. 

 

And you are right to doble check if it is not a mistake, the USCIS back in January 2020 sent my EAD with my married last name misspelled. It took a month for them to correct the error, I had to send them the card and proofs...I waited another month to get the corrected EAD just to start searching for a job with the COVID19, hahaha! So much fun with this guys 🙃

 

Please let us know what you find out

I bet this is just a glitch in the online case status system (we see errors with this system aaaaaaall the time). You have already been granted a greencard, and since your interview was waived you will just have an interview for ROC instead later down the road.

 

It's not some major mystery that people have their AOS interview waived. When I filed my AOS (this is all pre-2018) it was more common to have your AOS interview waived than actually getting an interview (this is for people who arrived on a K-1). Back then you could even get away with not having an interview for either AOS or ROC. 

 

So now during the pandemic they reverted back to their old way of doing things (in some cases, that is) and people were approved without interviews. Like I said, I highly doubt they are actually calling you in for an interview after you have already been approved. Especially in times where there's a huge backlog of cases that actually require an interview (such as naturalization etc).

@Scandi

That's what I'm  hoping we are still trying to call and find out. Thanks.

Well my wife called USCIS last week and spoke to a Tier 2 Officer. He said that he could see and was aware that she had her GC already. He verified her information then told her that a determination and or and explanation would be forthcoming no later than the 24th of July (this Friday) via email, yeah right how many times have we all heard that!!!! Anyway we posed this question to the officer "What happens if we should get the interview date in the mail BEFORE the email on the 24th?" The officer then replied THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO ATTEND THE INTERVIEW AS SCHEDULED!!!!

 

According to informed delivery there is a letter from USCIS headed our way today. A dollar to a doughnut it's the interview date!!!!! Looks like we will be attending the interview after all!
