I wouldn't reschedule an interview..They're hard to come by. Infact, 20 days is lucky 

Since it’s a day before ur trip I would recommend just going, I heard way to many horror stories were people rescheduled and it ended up not being properly updated n they end up getting denied. I would keep the interview and reschedule the oath ceremony if it’s not gonna be on same day.

It's simple really...
 
It's far easier for the US government to deny an immigrant visa case whereby the applicant is in their home country and doesn't need to be deported vs. a failed adjustment of status case whereby the applicant could just fall off the radar, or have to be put through removal proceedings.
 
Do I agree with this stance? Not really, Canada on the other hand is perfectly fine with tourists planning to submit an inland application for permanent residence when they enter the country. Though they will refuse to issue a temporary residence visa (if you require one) if they think you're planning to do that. If you're already in possession of a TRV or visa-exempt, then it's no big deal.
 
Could be worse though, the UK doesn't allow you to apply for PR at all (ILR) until you've resided like 5 years in the country, even if you're a spouse. You get a visa granting a stay of 2 years 9 months, then you renew it for a further period, then only after that can you get ILR, and if you were admitted for no more than 6 months you must apply from abroad.
 
At the end of the day really, different countries, different requirements and the joys of being an immigrant is if the government tells you to jump, you say 'how high?'

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
I checked the app today and it said Interview Scheduled September 12 2022
 
Girl when I go to the site, I'm scheduled for 10/19/2022 
 
SO HAPPY... 
 
going to STUDY NOW!

So... I received my interview notice today!!! 
My interview will take place exactly 6 months after I filed my case. (04/11/2022 - 10/11/2022).
I just want to thank all of you who post updates about your case, why? Because when I filed and I saw that my "estimated time* until case decision was approx. 18 months", I started to make travel plans, but out of the blue I found this community and it made me cancel all my plans as I noticed the cases were speeding up! 
This is my thankful post
 
Random fact, if I pass the test and become a US citizen that day, it would be 3 years, 3 months and 7 days since I came to the US.   

I read the law, filed a new I-751, and got a new I-551 stamp. 

Waste of time but YMMV

Haha...
Just over five years since original (joint) I-751.
Just under three years since second (waiver) I-751.
2.5 years since N-400 filed.
18 months since N-400 interview cancelled on the day, without explanation. 

Hi Friends
I am a December filer.
Biometrics waived .
Today got notification from USCIS my interview is scheduled in April.
 
I am filing based on 5 years residency. Filed initially in Texas.
 
one of the things is required to have is "Any evidence of Selective Service Registration" on the interview day. Do yall know what is that? Where can I get it from?
 
 

I -751: filed November 2020, biometrics reused.
N400 filed:  Dec 2021, biometrics reused.
I-751 transferred from YSC to NBC last month(- February 2022) to speed up processing.
Waiting for next update...N 400 with pending I-751

Sorry for late reply have been busy , but I did see you had your interview a few days ago Congrats!!! Hope everything went great for you ❤️

Just had my interview earlier this afternoon. Left with oath ceremony notice scheduled for tomorrow! Wishing everyone speedy processing.

Hi everyone, just added my info to the spreadsheet. I applied on 12/31 and just got my interview notice for 02/17. Pleasantly surprised that it's happening so quickly. Hope everyone hears back quickly

I agree completely thanks. $1500 definitely not worth more BS
Exactly no one is clean in this situation. I'll just let it go

1.  Your wife can not be deported for working under the table.  Illegal work is ignored for the spouse of a USC.
 
2.  BS on having any attorney on retainer.  
 
3.  I wouldn't give this lady any personal information; especially SSN.  The chances for identity fraud and opening financial accounts are high.

4.  Let it go.  No one has clean hands.  Your wife was working illegally.  This lady took advantage of that.  Just let it go and ignore her.  Is $1500 worth more BS?

OK.  Unless he has some very solid proof, she has nothing to worry about.  This sounds scorned spouse talking.

The uncle has no control over her immigration status......That is a typical idle threat with no teeth.  He is years too late try that stuff.  He would be admitting that he committed fraud, imo.

Package sent December 28th
package received December 30th
—-no news until
February 4th check was cashed
February 8th NOA in the mail (Texas center)
 

Paper filings are easy to time.
 
The problem will be electronic filings.  There was a poster who e-filed (something I forgot) when he was eligible and the computer system stamped it a few hours earlier.  He speculated it was because of time zone differences.  His e-filing was ultimately rejected.  

Yes, the day they receive it is what matters. But as noted, no reason to tempt fate to save a day or 2 in a 1-2 year process.

I sent it the day before my window, it arrived the day after the window opened and my actual receipt date ended up being a couple of days later. I ended up panicking because people told me the postmark was what determined "filing date". 
 
I did some research in the Code of Federal Regulations and it seems like posting date doesn't matter for this purpose, it is actual date of receipt. "The date of filing is not the date of mailing, but the actual receipt of receipt at the designated 
filing location. 8 C.F.R. 103.2(a)(7)(i)." was from a USCIS Decision I found on the topic.
 
Now, that said, I had a massive anxiety it would be rejected because I mailed it early so why subject yourself to that? If I could do it again I would just mail it the day the window opened, or a couple of days later if you want to play it safe.

There's no reason to send it early, even if it's just one day. Wait until the window is actually open, it's not like they will process the case any faster just because you sent it two days prior. 

Waiting for the first “I got my green card in the mail” post now 🤣

Just received my wife's NOA today! Received date 12-28-2020, notice date 1-30-2021. Nebraska service center. 18-month extension!

Oh that's frustating.
 
While I know its irritating and scary - just move on - and do everything again with the dates from today, etc. - so that its obvious you are within the time frame.
 
I also recommend that since your GC expires on 2/26 - send it via overnight FedEx/UPS and do not rely on USPS as there are still delays and that's not good for your case.
 
Good Luck! - it will work out
