I just got home from my interview this morning. It went smooth. The officer said to look out for my greencard with 4 weeks time. But I just received this notice. Was this an error?

Did you get your card?  We also had this regarding ROC. We received the card about 2 weeks later.

After interview, I should say.

Can you tell me what kind of questions you were asked during the interview? I have an interview scheduled for this month. Waited for interview for 4 years.

She asked my husband my birthday. She asked me when we were married. She asked my husband if he had done any traveling. She spent most of the time going through all our papers that we brought with us.

I’m pretty sure he was being a bit sarcastic and was very frustrated. 🙂

This is so bizarre. Hopefully this is just a glitch in the system or left hand not knowing what the right hand doing. 

Maybe the cancelled it last minute, but went ahead with your interview since you were present... Keep us updated

Hi @OldUser  Our status changed on March 28 and Chris received his GC yesterday. Approval took 2 weeks after interview. Thanks for your support. We can’t tell you how glad this is over!  33 months from filing to approval for ROC.

I would call USCIS, say “info pass”, and request a tier 2 officer call.

That worked and at least got the ball rolling. Status changed on March 28 and we received the GC yesterday. So glad this hellish journey is over. Chris is now a permanent resident. Thanks for your help.

By the way what does your status say online for your case? Still Interview scheduled or what? It's a glitch just like when you get approved for their I-751 it will say Card in Production. Then a few days later it will say you are approved. They are ### backwards oh well.

I hope you have been able to initiate a conversation with USCIS. As others have said, this is most likely a glitch. We had something similar happen to us as @Sarge2155 when we went in for our AOS interview, except that we received the cancellation beforehand. Thanks to VJ, we knew that stuff like that is not too rare with USCIS and that others had received denials for no shows, so we went anyway. And sure enough, they were ready for us, conducted the interview, and I got my GC a few weeks later. Nobody even so much as mentioned the cancellation.

Different USCIS offices also don’t seem to communicate well with each other. When I went in for my citizenship interview, my interviewers were a bit confused that I already had my 10 year GC which had been approved and sent to me without an interview two months prior. They then told me that apparently, the USCIS office in charge hadn’t updated my RoC approval system-wide, so they had to do it while I was waiting there. 

I don’t think you have anything to worry about, and I hope the situation resolves itself in a speedy approval and GC delivery. Best of luck! 

Thank you so much!  We do think it is some glitch, but you can’t help but think a few negative thoughts. It certainly was a good idea that you showed up for the cancelled interview. Sound like things are going well for you. Congratulations on your citizenship.

Thank you so much for this information. We just called and talked to a live person. She set up a tier 2 officer call. Just curious, how did you find this information?  She also said that we should expect a call within the next 15-30 days. I thought she was going to say the next 15-30 minutes. 🙂  Guess we will just do some more waiting.  Thanks again!

I would say it was a glitch, my wife had her GC in hand and USCIS sent us a interview letter scheduling our interview. We were just as confused as you are now, but we did attend or should I say go to the scheduled interview only to be told it was an error. So yes since you already attended I would say it was an error, but indeed I would bring it to someones attention!

 Congratulations on your GC and citizenship!  We will attempt to reach someone today. Thank you for your response.

How much initial evidence did you send with the 751 packet? People seem to get randomly assigned interviews by field offices, I think I read like 5-10% of applicants get this regardless of their cases strength 

I’m thinking we were the lucky 5-10%. We sent quite a bit as we had been married over 2 years. Pretty much everything I mentioned above and a few pictures of some of the trips we made traveling in the U.S  Also, 2 letters from my relatives that had met and know my husband. Hopefully, we will hear something soon.

Sure will. This interview was not expected in the first place, as we had an interview with AOS back in 2018.

We will sure try that tomorrow. Thanks Mike.  

My husband and I attended his ROC (I751) interview on March 14, 2023. We filed the paperwork back in June 2020, so we’ve waited a long time for the interview. We brought lots of evidence, such as title to car, deed to house, bank statements, utility bills, tax returns for the last 6 years and more. We both thought the interview went well and she (the USCIS) took 3-4 statements of every file we brought with us.  She asked my husband my birthday and asked me our marriage date.  Last Saturday, we received an I-797C, Notice of Action. The letter stated:  This is to advise you that, due to unforeseen circumstances, we have canceled the previously scheduled interview on Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at 7:30 for the above applicant.  We regret any inconvenience this may cause. You will be notified of any further action taken on this case, including any rescheduled interview information, under separate notice.  The notice date was March 14, 2023 which was the date we went to the interview. We have heard nothing else. Is there advice anyone can offer?  Thanks for reading and for any help you can give us. We will have been married for 6 years in May and have waited so long for this to be over.  

We’re heading to Atlanta for our ROC interview next Tuesday. We’re bringing all the continued proof from utilities, bank statements, car and home owner’s insurance, taxes for 2020, 2021, and 2022 and on and on. I’ll update and tell you all how it goes.

Feels good to see someone who was interviewed for AOS and will be interviewed for ROC; thought we were the only ones - though we don't have an interview scheduled yet-.

 

Please share how it went once you're interviewed and GOOD LUCK! 

I sure will.

Ah sorry, I had a 12 months, 24 months and a 12 months again. This is getting ridiculous of how long it takes. 

Good news is we finally have an interview in 2 weeks. Hopefully, your will happen soon. Did you have a interview for AOS?  

5 minutes ago, Nanestern said:

Would this be your second 48 months extension letter? Because I had a 12 months, 48 months and now again 12 months extension. 
 

my info pass appointment was December 28th. 

No, we had 18 months, then 24 months and now 48. The extension is added to the expiration of you green card. So, 4 years from when your gc expired.

KrispyKringle, I did and after submitting it they told me I am not outside of the processing time?! It will be 3 years in June!

 

i did call USCIS and asked for an info pass appointment in July (my 2 year extension letter was expiring in September 2022) and I got an appointment in December 2022.  I received a stamp in my passport for another extension of 1 year. Is this why they say I am not outside of the processing time? 

We received an extension letter yesterday. The extension is now 48 months. So, I’m guessing that we are not outside processing time. When is/was your appointment?  

Another update:  Today, we received another extension letter for 2 year green card. The extension is now 48 months according to the I-797.  🥱

I think you’re overthinking this.  If you want to file an amended return for the $20.00, you can do so. It should not make a difference in taxes owed.  You don’t need to give the 2022 tax info to USCIS unless you file after April 15, 2023. 

Update:  We received a letter a week ago stating we are scheduled for an interview in Atlanta next month.  We had an AOS interview about 5 years ago. Didn’t expect another one for ROC. At least there is movement after almost 3 years!

Then yes the safest earliest is what @Mike E wrote. 179 days before 5 year anniversary of coming back to the US for good. That would fall on December 28, 2023. Of course, this is falls into holiday season, so best to file first week of January 2024. This is only if they don't travel any more outside of the US in 2023. Any extra day of travel will push that date by one day. And trip over 180 days will reset counter to 0 and they have to start countring to 5 years again.

 

Great explanation!  Thanks!  

Anyone else here still waiting?  This is ridiculous!  

You can only do so much. It’s good that you included the citation on your N-400. If the issue comes up, then you can explain how you tried to get a copy of the paid ticket. Best of luck to you.

So a certified copy will do?

Yes, as stated above a certified copy is an original. I would recommend getting several certified copies (4-5) so that you have them for future use.
