Hello everyone.I recieved the interview letter in the mail last july 10.the interview date is august 13.the problem is the location is around 50 miles away from us and is accessible by private car only.im currently 30 weeks pregnant and on that day nobody will gonna accompany me and i don't know how to drive.i live in queens ny and we have some local office here so i was really wondering why they put me in long island.i called USCIS right away to explain the situation and they told me to send the interview letter back to the address that was stated and attach a letter of explaination which i did..it's been 2 weeks and i haven't get a reply from them.tried to call them many times but they keepon saying they can't give me a timeline.what should i do?

You just have to wait to get a new appointment scheduled at the closer office. There doesn't seem to be anything else that you can do. Hopefully it isn't rescheduled for when the baby is born.

I was thinking on getting an infopass on our local office to check the status personally.And also ask them if ever i didn't get a reply till august 10 will it be possible for me to have the interview on the original location.i have a copy of the interview letter with me..

The problem that not all the offices conduct interviews, for example, my office in Cincinnati is in a federal building that also have the other room for interviews (ROC, CITIZENSHIP ETC ), I guess the reason you were scheduled 55 miles away is that this is their office for interviews, IF and only IF this is the case, nothing can be done, you will need to get your self there some how.

Wait and see once they send you back

We have the same issue as No_where_man. The office where we do biometrics, updates etc. is 5 miles away, but for the Citizenship interview, we have to go to the Federal building in DT Chicago. Maybe see if you can schedule an info pass meeting, bring up your pregnancy (if it isn't already obvious) and see if they can re-schedule or give you an alternative. Couldn't hurt.
