Interview delayed, TWO letters

[luvknowsnoborders 0]

Hi

My spouse fell sick two days before the interview and still wasn't better on the day of the interview so we asked to reschedule the interview the day before we were scheduled to go in. The USCIS lady on the phone was very nice to us and said they sent a notification to the local uscis office saying we rescheduled.

A week later we get TWO letters. One says "because you didn't show up we have denied this application". Another said "we are in the process of rescheduling your appointment".

I called immigration and they don't see that it was denied, and that it was probably a mistake in the system, but I don't want to assume anything.

Then last week I tried opening a savings account with American Express and they said my social security number was invalid ! I don't know if that means that because of my lack of credit I couldn't open anything, or if (god help me) the federal government has canceled my social security number.

I called SSA today and they said the number still belongs to me, but they can't say if the government did anything about my status.

Has anyone else ever gotten two letters like this?

I have seen people get letters like that (via posts here) - which is why you should make every attempt to keep appointments.

However, since you have proof you re-scheduled, you should not have that much issue - I would make an infopass to make sure though. (depending on when your new interview is).

Your SSN is yours for life - they don't "cancel" it. Some other issue is going on with that.

My spouse really was in no condition to go to the interview which is why we rescheduled... It just happened to be really bad timing I suppose...

Yes we have a confirmation number showing that we did in fact call the day before. So far (almost a month later) we still haven't received a notice to go for the interview, but I'm personally not in a hurry, it's not like I'm going anywhere As long as it happens before my work permit expires I'm good
