Wow, haven't heard that yet. Think positive..

thanks... trying my best )))

Could it because you already interviewed for your K-1 visa? Maybe they decided they didn't need to interview you again and are going to issue you a GC without an interview.

that would be too good to be true. I looked up the same cases here on VJ and surprisingly interview cancellation is quite a common thing. Some people were "lucky" enough to have their interview rescheduled twice. Some people reported the reason behind cancellation was that their case had not been received (which is weird, why would the first interview be scheduled to begin with?!), one person said that the work load shifted to work on other cases. I will post the reason of my cancellation as soon as I know something.

What's more important, is the VJ advice in such cases is to show up at the original date regardless. Some cases were denied for not attending the CANCELLED interview..

Huh, weird. I kind of hope that doesn't happen to me because my husband just changed his number (I put his down on the paperwork) and we may be moving soon (but after we'll likely receive the mail notice of the interview time/location). You may be one of the lucky ones that doesn't need an interview though.

[StarGirl 13]

I really wish that doesn't happen to anyone else. Very frustrating. I got today two letters, one that schedules interview, and one that cancels it. Looks like once they pushed button, they changed their mind...

Is there any possibility they are doing this to slow down the EAD's? I was under the impression they had to make a decision on those within 90 days, and that if an interview is scheduled before that for the I-485 it puts that on hold. I feel like they've done it to give themselves more time

According to the timeframes some of us may receive eads this week or next, fingers crossed we do. Has anyone got theirs yet?

That's a really important tidbit to know that you still have to show up despite the CANCELLED interview. Thanks for letting us all know! Ps. Keeping fingers crossed for you for a new interview date asap!

anyone else still waiting for their biometrics? This is so annoying knowing that most of you are in the interview stage and I still haven't received my appointment.. any suggestions guys? I rang over a week ago after I passed 30 days mark and they sent me a letter saying I am within the processing time. Well I know I am within processing time for I 485 but my appointment letter should arrive within 30 days am I wrong?

I don't think you have to get interview appt within 30 days.. They received my package on nov 5 and I still have nothing but biometrics.

Hey stargirl just a suggestion, I would call customer service and ask to speak to a tier 2 representative,to find out what's going on, just for a peace of mind. Sometimes it could be and error on their path.

According to online system, they have approved my ead Jan 5, and mailed notice. Sending speedy approval for all those that are still waiting on ead,interview date and biometric appointment.

[Jason & Anna 6]

We sent ours in the first and so far nothing has changed on our status updates. 485 in acceptance and the other two AP/EAD still in initial review. Site estimate says between jan 9-12 though, so hopefully something happens soon.

Hey congratulations!!! I'm so very happy for you! Looks like we have a similar timeline & also both adjusting from F1. Hopefully they get to my EAD/ AP soon!!!!

Yeah, I need to do that, thanks for suggesting. The person who I spoke today with just read my online status update and not a word further.

Hey, I got my Biometrics appointment rescheduled the same days like your and I did it December 26 after the Christmas holidays. I was wondering when did your status change for the EAD and have you already received your interview letter. I am adjusting from J1 not from K1 so I hope my EAD will be approved some time this week I applied for super nice job and they said I am hired as soon as I get the card. I don't know how long they will wait for me though... Definitely not 2 or 3 weeks!!!
