We are abroad while trying to remove the conditions and get the permanent green card. We have been relying on a relative to forward our mail to us but somehow the letter to inform us of the date for the Biometrics Interview did not arrive until a month after the interview was to take place. So we obviously did not arrange to be in the US for the interview. The letter states that if we miss the interview they will consider our case abandoned. Any suggestion on how to reinstate this process?

Biometrics isn't an interview. It is finger printing - photograph and a form you fill out. Regardless no actions can be done to the case until this is completed and yes the process can be deemed abandoned if you do not show up.

Return to the USA right now, go right away to the ASC center with the biometrics appointment letter and have your biometrics taken hope they didn't close your case for not responding/attending.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

Ooh! That's not good because I can't return for several months. My wife's passport has been sent back to Russia for renewal and it takes three months. Well, I shall just write and call them and and see what can be done.

What can be done may come to you having to file a new I-130 for your wife, and 8-months later she then having to file for an IR-1 visa at the U.S. consulate in Moscow. The positive aspect of it is that both paths (RoC and IR-1) have the same outcome: a 10-year Green Card.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Ooh Bad Planning, as has been said, nothing will progress until Biometrics are done, and i would say you are looking at a case abandoned and starting the process all over again from the I-130.

Thinking about it, why is your wife not travelling using the GC or NOA-1?????????????

I don't know anything about those. I thought she is free to travel since she has a two year Green Card.
