I-751 Interview scheduled in wrong Field Office

[Stefanie 1]

Alright guys,

I filed my I-751 in July 2007. That's right: 2007!!! And I am still waiting for an approval.

There is really nothing complicated about my case. However, my husband is in the military and received orders to Germany in 2006. In 2007 I filed my I-751. My timeline explains some of the stages I have been dealing with.

In August 2009 we returned to the USA. My husband was assigned to Walter Reed Army Medical Center where we are currently stationed. I successfully reopened my case but here is the dilemma that USCIS put me in as of today:

My mother-in-law (who resides in Washington State) received a letter from USCIS for an interview appointment regarding my case. For some reason, her address is still on file with them even though I put in a change of address in August 2009 and even confirmed my new address with a USCIS representative when I called them in October 2009.

My Interview was scheduled for Nov 24, 2009 at 10:00 am in SEATTLE, WA.

I live in Maryland and my Field Office is Baltimore.

I just sent an email explaining my case to the following email address: scopsscata@dhs.gov

Question No.1: Was anyone ever scheduled for an interview in a Field Office that was not his/her home field office (AOS/I-751 anyone?)?

Question No.2: Has anyone ever used the previously mentioned email address to contact USCIS?

Well that's been a bumpy road for you guys to say the least - hopefully it will all be over with (for a while) soon.

I think you need to make an infopass appointment right away - let them know what happened and they can (and will) correct it.

That's kind of eerily familiar becasue I did my AOS in Baltimore, MD but had moved from Seattle, WA so for a while the Baltimore office thought I was supposed to have done my biometrics in Seattle and couldn't find my biometrics and medical exam results when I went in for my interview. So anyway odd.

Any chance you can schedule an infopass appopintment in Baltimore and see if they can sort out the situation for you?

I just scheduled an InfoPass but the earliest available appointment wasn't until November 20th. So hopefully they can sort it out then.

I just don't get why they would need an interview anyways. No one else ever has to go for one for Removal of Conditions.

I feel like yelling at them for making this so unbelievably difficult for my husband and I. We have a straightforward case. And another thing I don't get is why they never approved my case while we were living in Germany on military orders. I know a bunch of people who were in the same situation and they didn't have to go through all this BS.

Some people do get called for interviews .. some for cause and some just at random. The reason you are probably being called to an interview now is because they took so long in the first place. They probably just want to verify that nothing has changed and that you are still happily married.

I decided to get it over with and booked a flight to Seattle, WA. It is right before Thanksgiving and will give me the opportunity to see my in-laws again and spend time with them. I will let you know how the interview goes!

Hopefully this will be the end of my long journey!
