Should I reschedule my marriage based GC interview until the pandemic situation gets better?

[justmarriedusciti 7]

My wife and I are being told to appear for our I485 interview in a month's time from now. However, we recently had a baby and we have been in self quarantine for the better part of this year. We'd like to possibly delay the interview if we can until infections get a bit lower, but are afraid that we will give USCIS the impression that we are avoiding the interview since our 2 year anniversary is only 3 months away. My USC wife is a total quarantine lover and has not left the house except for a few times this year. When the interview letter came through I had a panic attack because I know it will be hard to convince her to leave sine she has mentioned a couple of times that public buildings are places she doesn't want to step foot in. 

 

My questions right now are:

1) How long would it take to get a reinterview scheduled? 

2) Will USCIS think we are delaying the interview to avoid being interviewed before our two year anniversary? (I've read this concern on a few forums here)

3) Suppose my wife is convinced and agrees to go for the interview, what are the chances that the officer will leave us some *gray* area and assign the 10 year GC instead of the 2 year GC? Our case is very strong and we have tons of evidence to back up our relationship (photos, timeline, relative affidavits, receipts, bank accounts, list goes on...)

4) What is the chance that our application for interview rescheduling gets denied?

There is no "gray area".  If you have been married for at least 2 years when the Green Card is approved, you will receive a 10 year card.  I would not miss a scheduled interview.

Best not to mess with appointments, when they say jump you say how high.

Agree.  Have seen some cases denied for missed appointments.  I wouldn't want the hassle of trying to straighten out that mess.

USCIS buildings ( as other government buildings) are way safer than say grocery stores. They do people by appointments, with temperature checks, social distancing and different doors for entrance and exit.

With USCIS, like somebody said before, if they schedule you for an appointment please go unless you are incapacitated which is not the case here.

Rescheduling is a pain, you dont want delays and issues created because of this,trust me. 

They take only a small amount of people, wear mask, social distance etc. if possible have your baby stay home with a trusted family member and go.

It sucks that your 2 year anniversary is close but don't take any chance, to be pushed away or maybe denied because they dont get your reschedule request on time.

The answer to 3 is you will get a 2 year GC if it is approved before the 2 year anniversary there is no gray on that. My GC was approved 2 weeks before our 2 year Anniversary and I got a 2 year GC so...

Answer to 1 and 4: cant tell with Covid everything is delayed and they take longer to answer requests
