Hello all, thanks in advance for any assistance offered! 

I filed my N400 in June of 2018 in AZ, had my biometrics completed that same month, hadn't heard anything since.

Just moved to Florida 1 week ago. Literally 1 day after I arrive in FL I get a notice in my online account that they have scheduled my N400 interview for July 8th in AZ. 

I went online and submitted an AR-11 and sent a message that I had just moved, but asked if I could still attend the interview in AZ anyway. I just got a case update this morning that stated my interview was cancelled and 'We transferred your application to another USCIS Field office for review'. 

Kind of a bummer that I finally get an interview date then it gets cancelled due to my move. Anyone else experience something similar recently? Did it delay the process much?

Thanks

Funnily enough, I received a private message from an individual in a fairly similar situation to myself, remarried before ROC etc, and he similarly stated he was approved without interview. He states that he a lot of supporting evidence as I do, so maybe that's the key. Saying that I have no way of verifying his information but here's hoping it's accurate

Thanks again all, hopefully my process will be a smooth one. But you never know, I guess sometimes it might depend on the particular policy in place that month, or getting the wrong officer working your case. All I can do Is hope my honest intentions win out.

It is a not uncommon scenario, seems a lot of over thinking going on.

Thinking and hoping that this is the case, thank you for your input.

OP, I see that question. I also notice that it follows a list of questions such as "are you in removal proceedings", "have you been convicted of a crime", "did you pay someone for this ROC application (aka did you "buy" your spouse), etc. I would contact an attorney. Something doesn't sit right with this to me.

As I said, after speaking with a Immigration Attorney today, he has stated that as long as marriage no.1 was legitimate, and I have proof to show this ( we lived together, including pre marriage for over 4 years in 2 different countries.) Then I shouldn't have a problem and marriage no.2 won't affect things. They're concerned purely if marriage no.1 was fraud or not.

I agree with what you're saying. The handy tidbit is not quite relevant and I think the IO gave it as an example of straight up fraud. However, she first mentioned "Marrying a 2nd person without removing conditions from the 1st marriage and attaining non-conditional permanent residency was a huge no-no and grounds for a denial."

That part is totally relevant to the OP and I think he needs an immigration lawyer to clarify. If this information is still correct today, then there will be problems, the least of which is his mail. This is why my advice is not to wait. The OP doesn't have a straight-forward divorce case. His status is "married" but his spouse is not the one listed on his AOS.

There is a point in the i751 form, page 2 to be exact, where you can state specifically that your are married, but to a different individual than whome one originally obtained the conditional status from. The fact that the form has this specific question leads one to believe the situation is not unheard of.Either way I agree and that's why I was lucky to get some info from a local lawyer, who thinks as long as I can prove marriage no.1 is legit I should be fine.

I completely agree Damara, my game plan is to literally have the packet ready to go in the next week or so, then simply send it the day I arrive. It's through fear of missing paperwork that I believe waiting is prudent.

Thank you all for the advice given so far, Cheezees, I apologize if I spoke Ill of your credentials, it's just that you did come accross very judgemental and overbearing, not two qualities you can pull off when offering inaccurate information. Maybe just cool it down if you're not 100% sure your info is correct, but thanks for taking the time either way.

Thanks again for all the replies, glad to share with some peers who have had similar experiences. As the original marriage was completely genuine I hope to have no issues.

Yes, you were supposed to file when you got divorced. Now that you know and you realize your error in filing, why in the world are you waiting?!?!?! With your circumstances I foresee an interview in your future and the excuses for not filing in a timely manner being:

1. I got a divorce, totally ignored the ROC process, and even got remarried, again ignoring any immigration implications, all in under 15 months (MAJOR red flags btw), AND

2. Now that you are (I think) technically out of status as you are no longer married to a USC AND you have not filed for removal of conditions AND you DO NOT have an status extension letter AND you are waiting because "I want my mail all in one place"

are beyond belief! Please, take other people's advice and wait....for your possible deportation letter to arrive at your new home in about 30 days. Good luck!

I hope you don't offer much advice on this forum based on that outdated advice. On the back of your post I did contact an immigration lawyer, thinking it's best just to confirm. He informed me informally that whilst you can apply for the ROC straight after the divorce, as long as it's before the conditional green card expires there's no such 'instant deportation letter' issued. Plus I married another US Citizen, so such deportation he states is extremely unlikely as long as I file before Sept 20th and provide appropriate proof that my original marriage was in good faith then there is no problem.

Not to be rude, but you probably shouldn't give advice on this forum with such inaccurate information.

Aarons point above is exactly why I'm nervous about filing now instead of waiting.

From what I have read, after one files the I-751 you receive some form of receipt extending your green card for a year. I didn't know how long it takes to receive this form, and I fear I would already of moved before it arrives.

Thanks for the replies thus far. Yes sadly I was foolish and did not realize I could file as soon as I got divorced. I have never hired an immigration attorney, as I thought the thousands of dollars they charge unnecessary if you have nothing to hide, filled out the original immigration paperwork myself without problems. Trouble is it left me a bit ignorant of some of the rules such as this one.

That's my main trouble, I've thought declaring the second marriage smart, just don't know wether to file now or wait until I move....

Little background to get started. I got married to my first wife, a US citizen whilst in England (my native country). We lived there for a year and a half before coming to the US as she complained of missing her family, I agreed so we came, by the time I received my green card we'd been married just 2 months shy of 2 years so it was a conditional one.

Just under a year into living in the US things started taking a turn for the worse, she drank a lot and cheated on me multiple times. Eventually I had enough and we were divorced. 3 month later I met the true woman of my dreams, got swept up in a romance and we married a month ago.

Now comes my two questions. My conditional green card expires Sept 20th 2015. I'm planning of filing for a waiver due to divorce. I have tons of proof of legitimate marriage (joint bank, medical insurance, photo albums, joint leases and affadavits). When I file, do I mention that I am now married to a new US citizen? I think yes but a few people are telling me not to mention it so I don't know if I'm being silly, but it seems to me it pays to be honest here.

Secondly, I have secured employment out of state and will be moving to Colorado August 1st. Shall I file the i-751 removal of conditions now, or shall I wait until I move? Just don't wanna push it with the deadline approaching swiftly.

Sorry for the long post, I really appreciate any feedback.
