Should I attend my interview alone?

[Aredhel 0]

HI!

The thing is - my hubby can't make it to our interview for serious reason. I did request to reschedule and I have a letter from our local office, it says thay have approved my request. But I have not received new appoitment notice yet. My interview is in two days.

I really don't know what should I do. On one hand, I am sure they are aware of my request coz I have the letter and confirmation number.

On the other hand, when I check my portfolio on the website it says my application was touched last time on May 13. Meaning nobody even looked into it. It still says standard "we sent you notice for the interview on June 13..blah blah".

So how do I know the IO will not just deny my case coz nobody apeared. Yes, I will be able to prove later that I took action, but who wants to get into that situation, right?

To get to my local office I will have to take 2 buses (one 1,15hrs and another 3hrs travel time) I will also have to stay at the hotel or smth, coz of bus schedule.

Another problem, I don't really have any documentation on why my hubby could't make it this time. He is in the army and left for training, but he doesnt have orders, his sergent could write some explanation, but we forgot to do this (I know it's dumb). But we can provide that later, if needed.

So what do you think, any advice? Should I just go and talk to IO or just skip this date and waint?

I plan to call tomorrow, but smth tells me there won't be much help from them...

Why cant you get the paper now from his sergeant? You should be able to contact them and get the notice. You need the proof if you go without him to the interview.

Well, sergeant is also at that training. I thought I could get smth from ppl on post, but my hubby said there's nothing. We were absolutely sure that new letter will arrive BEFORE this interview date, I feel like total idiot about this coz I didn't realy do anything and lost time. Another problem - I totaly lost all confidence, I didn't know if I shoud go or not, I still don't know...

I wanted to talk to someone, so I posted here. I'm not sure if I should go just to tell them that I am having it rescheduled, and not abandoning... idk.

If you are scared about missing the interview because they did not respond to your reschedule request you most certainly can go down in person and tell them you applied to reschedule but you haven't heard yet. Explain your situation to the guards at the front.

You already got a notice that they received your reschedule request and approved the request. Why would you go to the old interview now? Seems like a lot of unnecessary worry to me.

If you did not have to travel so far by bus and stay at a hotel just to go to the USCIS office, I would say to go ahead and show up and explain and make sure that it was cancelled and being rescheduled. However, that is too much traveling and trouble to go through. You have the notice stating they approved the request to reschedule, so you can show that letter in case they try and say you did not show up for your interview.

You should get another letter letting you know when your new interview is. It can take them a bit to provide you with a new appointment.
