Hello All,

I hope somebody can help us. My husband and I received notice that our interview is July 10th 2012 in Memphis, TN. We are so happy. However, Memphis is 8 hours away, the appointment is on Tuesday. Also, I just started a new job to make the income requirement. So, they said they would let me off on the day of the 10th, but not on the 9th or the 11th, because the other girl in the office is off that week.

We live about 2minutes from Virginia, and if we move to Virginia, or nearest office would change to Charleston, WV. However, we heard that a lot of people go to Pittsburgh, PA for their interview not to Charleston.

We are totally stuck. Spending over 1000.00 for one day to catch a plane and plus hotel that may not be on time just seems crazy and worthless. Also, we did not spend that much on a wedding.

We are confused on what to do. We would gladly move to Virginia, if that meant we can go to Charleston, WV for the interview. Does anybody know for sure?

We are AOS from F-1 to Permanent status.

Can you really just move that fast? If I decided to move, I'd have to find a place, give notice to my current landlord, etc. It seems odd to me that you'd rather go through all that hassle than just make the 8 hour trip.

Also, I think if you reschedule the interview it will slow down your process quite a bit. Is that ok with you?

Personally, I'd just get up early and make the drive, or drive in the night before. But I'm a "don't rock the boat" type.

You can call and try to get a different appointment, but it might delay your process some months. Of course, you'll have to take time off work then anyway. I would drive the night before and get there in the morning, and then drive back as soon as it's done. It will be a tiring trip but it might be the best thing.

I don't think you can get your application moved to another office at this point easily. It certainly doesn't seem worth moving for.
