Seeking for advice on AOS Reschedule of Initial Interview. HELP!

[-i-s-l-e-b-a-b- 0]

Hi guys! We applied for K-1 visa and I am going to have my initial interview on my AOS this November 25. On the invitation letter, it says there that I need to go there together with my husband. I've read from some posts that the couple will be interviewed separately and compare the answers.

My problem is that my husband is working in Alaska and he won't be home until December 1. There's no relieve yet as he is the one in charge for 5 weeks working in the Telephone company that requires travel most of the time from village to village.

I called the USCIS Customer Service, and man, many of them can't help. That's why I needed to call again and again hoping that I could talk to somebody who is knowledgeable. Finally, someone gave me a referral number for the service request with regard to the Rescheduling of the interview. But she mentioned that I should get a response from USCIS within 45 days?! Geez! I can't wait that long because our interview will be on Nov. 25. It was too soon for us to have that interview and we're not expecting that schedule. We thought USCIS will going to schedule us 1 month after receiving the notice, but no. I tried to get an InfoPass, unluckily, there's no more available schedule until after our interview date.

What if I am going there alone by myself on the day of my interview just to tell them that my husband can't come, will they reschedule me? But I also heard that in many cases persons end up dealing with a denied AOS when they assume that the appointment is rescheduled.

What should we do? I am kinda worried...

Try to go alone and explain that your husband is out of country.Any witness from your wedding that can go with you?Bring all the important documents especially the appointment letter,marriage certificate,joint bank account and pictures of your wedding.GOD BLESS...

When exactly did you receive the letter of appointment?

I would suggest you to show up at the interview and hopefully there will be a way to reschedule it soon. But definitely your case can not be finalized on November 25th without your spouse.

I hope you realize that looking to reschedule an AOS interview might cause a major delay on your AOS process.

Good luck!

I appreciate the quick responses here.. Now, my husband just decided to beg to his Boss in order to let him go earlier so that we can both attend the interview. But there's still a problem. Since they already gave me a referral number for my service request of rescheduling the interview, they said that they can't cancel it anymore because the request had been assigned and they're already working on that out. I asked the Customer Service if that won't be a problem when we appear on our original scheduled interview and she didn't give me an exact No or Yes answer because they don't know. But eventually, she said that she deleted the request but still not sure if the officer will disregard or will still continue processing the request.

Is there anyone here who experienced the same as what we are experiencing now? Do you think the Service for reschedule of the interview that was just deleted after being assigned will not be a big issue when we appear on the original date of our interview?

Thank you again in advance for the responses. Thanks for the great help..

The only way to find out is to give it a try. Show up at the interview, you won't lose anything.

If you have not been able to reschedule your interview then you must GO TO YOUR INTERVIEW. There you can explain why your husband is not with you. If you have any documentation that shows why he is travelling that would help to, may be you can get a fax from your husband or his employer saying he is supposed to be in Alaska (if you can arrange that).

Also take all the documentation with you which you would have taken anyways to the interview just in case they need some documentation from you then your file would be up to date and complete and only interview would be left.

I am sure that IO at your local office would be able to reschedule your interview. Good luck!
