Greetings,

We initially filed on July 9th. But then my case was transferred to the USCIS office in California. This was on September 6th. On November 25th we received a notice from the office in California saying that my petition has been relocated to the USCIS office listed below for adjudication, and that the office will schedule an interview for me. Is this for me an my wife? It says me only BTW.

We never received a RFE letter during this process. Has anyone gone through the same situation? If so, could you share your experience.

Thanks!

c12h22oh,

Thanks for your reply. But did your notice say that you have to go for an interview? I'm just concerned since I filed with ample evidence and never received a notification that the proof I sent was insufficient or something similar. The office from California said that my case was sent to my Local office in Long Island city in New York, and that they will schedule an interview. If someone else went through the same type of notification please share your experience.

Sometimes you're randomly chosen for an interview, even if you have enough evidence. Don't worry.

EM_Vandeer,

Thanks for your comment. We were just very concerned since I read on some posts that when people are randomly chosen the notice actually mentions that "they have been randomly selected". I don't know if it is because mine was coming from California - The actual format of the notice letter was a bit different from the regular ones. So we got very worried but I would keep you guys posted. Hopefully everything is resolved. I wonder what the notice from the local office would say. Can't wait to hear from them.

I am not sure about that, but I would definitely wait for the actual interview letter from the local office. Even then, different offices have different templates. It is very possible that it would not mention anything about being randomly selected even if you were. By the way if they had a problem with your evidence, more than likely they would have sent you an RFE first. Going straight to interview to me indicates it's just random. And yes, the interview is for both of you as I assume you filed jointly. For someone with a divorce waiver for example, it would be only for the immigrant.

Please don't sweat it. In the EXTREMELY unlikely event of USCIS denying a ROC case (I am speaking in general, I really don't think your case will be denied) people get to go in front of an immigration judge who will most likely grant ROC. So it's not like ROC denied, now leave the country, unlucky immigrant. LOL

I think that's the right thing to do. It can be anything at this point. I will keep updated with anything that comes at this point.

Hi.

I'm experiencing exactly the same thing with my ROC process. I live in Hartford and filed to VSC (June 25), by the beginning of October I checked the case status online and realized that they had transferred it to California (this message was available only one day on the website). Almost one month later I received the same letter you described, indicating that my case had been relocated to my local USCIS office and that they would schedule an interview when available. I was shocked as well, never received an RFE notification and freaked out. As some others mentioned it seems this a random process, I'm gathering more evidence but I don't even know what else I should take since I though I had sent everything I had. The letter is quite ambigous, one month has passed since then and I haven't received the actual appointment. I'll keep you posted and wish everything goes well for you.

jfcolombian,

You don't know how much relieved I felt after I read your comment. As many people have posted we need to be prepared for anything. And pls keep me posted of your process on this thread. I received mine on November 25th and had to cancel my plans for Christmas. I sent as many joint documents as we had. I'm in the same process of collecting more information since the day of the notification.

Hi all, what did you all send as evidence of an ongoing marriage?

Kristal,

Any join documents that show a legal connection between both parts: Mortgage, or rent lease, phone bill, gas, electricity, cable, internet, health insurance, etc. Any type of document that shows both your names serves as a proof pretty much.

I am in the same situation. I initially applied on May 6th as divorce waiver, received RFE on August 26th replied to RFE on Oct 17th. I received a letter stating that my petition has been forwarded to local USCIS office and they will send me an interview date when it becomes available.

Havent heard from local USCIS office so far.

Hi,

I'm going through the same thing. I received that letter late October and I'm still waiting on an interview date

The letter freaked me out because it wasn't your standard uscis formatted letters. This one was simple looking.

Anyway I've decided to hire a lawyer to be safe. I suggest anyone who is nervous do the same. Your lawyer at

Your interview changes things up just with his/her presence. At first I thought this was happening to everyone who

Applied in the time frame that Vermont was unable to process. But a friend of mine had no issues and was approved

Within couple of months.

Wade,

I just had the interview this morning. I asked on other posts and some people said that better be prepared because it could be a "RFE on steroids", of course like you, when I received the notice I was freaking out. Throughout our whole process, we have had a lawyer and he told us that this is normal procedure. We went this morning and got approved on the spot. The officer was actually very nice. I would open a thread regarding the interview to show my experience. But you shouldn't worry, as long as your evidence is solid, and if you think you have red flags work on them with your lawyer.

Best!

Had my interview this morning also. Great idea sheva29! I would definitely contribute to this thread.
