We just got a notice for an interview today and it has today's date on it? Sunday, November 9th @ 1030am

 

What does this mean? I thought they were closed on weekends and that's such a short notice for us especially when they are over 2 hours away

When they send the notice?  How did you receive the notice?

Just go if you are able.  Yes, USCIS is closed on weekends, however, officers are allowed to work over-time to clear up back log.  I checked the subreddit, there have been plenty of cases of weekend interviews.

 

Edit: My bad, I just realized that was yesterday. Were you able to go?

I have heard of some people getting their interview notice after the date of the interview. Unfortunately, these things happen. I recommend everyone check the portal if they are able, and do not rely on mail delivery of notices. When we got her notice for biometrics, it was about 3-4 weeks before in the portal. Perfect, I took the day off work so I could take her down there. However, the snail mail notice came the week before. I may not have been able to take off work on such short notice. A little to close for comfort.

I mean, when it comes to immigration, unless going through surgery for life threatening condition or attending mother's funeral, it is almost always cheaper to skip day of work or call in sick VS miss appointment. People lose status and get placed in removal when missing appointments
