Conflict with N-400 Interview Data

[golferadam 0]

Good news: We got an interview letter for my wife's N-400 application, the date is set for Feb. 2

Bad news: Our baby's due date is Feb. 4

There is a good possibility the baby will be delivered right around the interview date and I would hate to cancel at the last minute. The letter says if we need to reschedule we can return the letter to local office and include an explanation why we need another appointment.

My questions:

1) Have others done this before?

2) What do you suggest we do?

3) Is there any chance of getting an earlier interview?

First of congrats I heard people rescheduling their interview for a variety of reasons. I am not about getting an early interview though. Just send a letter to your local USCIS explaining the situation.

Good luck

Golferdam-

Congrats about the baby...May you and your family enjoy this new addition!

The solution...Have the baby at the USCIS office! This would mean instant citizenship for your wife and the baby! (just kidding.....)

Ok..The real solution....

Schedule an in-person infopass appointment...as soon as possible before the baby arrives!

Bring your very pregnant wife to the infopass appointment...

Bring proof of the baby's due date with a medical note..

And hopefully they will give your wife a quicker or later interview date. (which I think they will in your case, as surely they can't give you an interview date near the due date....) Babies never really come on time anyways....just a thought... So yeah..even a USCIS birth is possible too....

Lol..If it makes you feel any better, I went for an infopass appointment when I was pregnant...asked for a passport stamp (for emergency travel to Canada) and asked "What the heck is going on with my I-751 case..It's been 10 months already and I'm 8 months pregnant! Where is my green card?". Needless to say, that worked, and I got both the passport stamp (and not long after that, went to my congressman with the same story, and then got my green card, just before the baby came...). See my VJ timeline for more info....

Lesson learned: USCIS don't mess with pregnant women and/or babies!

Lol..Hope this helps (or at least makes you laugh). Good luck with your citizenship journey and baby too.
