Question

[BabyBlueSusie 1]

We currently live in South Bend, IN, and will have biometrics next week in Hammond, IN which is about an hour away.

Question 1: If we do end up having an interview, is it generally at the same place as the biometrics, or a different office entirely?

Question 2: If the interview will not be at the biometrics location, I am wondering if they will send us to Chicago (about 1.5 hours away) or Indianapolis (not sure exactly how far, but maybe 3 hours or so - definitely much further than Chicago). In other words, would they make us have an interview in Indiana, even if the location is further away than a city out of state?

Hopefully we don't have an interview at all, but just in case, I am wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation.

Thanks!

For what I know, USCIS will state the service center location in their notification.

yea, I am just curious since it would be a real annoyance to have to travel to indianapolis

Well I just came across a vj member from Goshen, IN, which is about 30 minutes from where we live. They had their interview in Indianapolis, which is bad news for us. I guess the location is not based on proximity, but instead on state. Let's hope that we get transferred to CSC.

We had the biometrics in the town we live in, but had to drive 1 1/2 hours to the interview. It probably depends on how big of town you live in and how many people they process.

I'm from Illinois. I had my biometrics in Indianapolis (2h away) and my interview is in Chicago (3h).
