When is interview not required?

[Jason F 0]

I've noticed in some of the google spreadsheets that people have received greencards without an interview. When is this the case? Or did they just forget to add that info to their row?

Thanks!

It is always required.

However, some people luck out, and they are granted it without an interview. (no reasoning why)

I would think if the case is pretty strong, and some other factors I can't divulge, you might get lucky.

or not

Quite a good number of people filing AOS from a K visa are processed without an interview. I don't know statistics, but you could try and figure it out.

It's a ####### shoot. There is no rhyme or reason why one person has an interview, and another person doesn't. I believe it's probably random. If your case is sent to CSC, it probably will not require an interview. Ours was sent to St. Louis, where we live, and we had an interview. It was easy peasy anyway, and I actually got my GC faster than some people did that were transferred to CSC.

Thanks for the replies all! and good luck with your applications!

Mostly does transferred to CSC but there is no rule of thumb saying who does or does not get transferred.

I'd say the majority of applications that don't require a visa were adjusted from a K status and so interviews already took place in the home country to get a visa in the first place.

This is exactly what two different and experienced immigration attorneys told me: The applicant has recently been through the wringer at the consulate, so an AOS interview would be duplicative.
