Yeah, we got this, and a little while later got a new date.. no explanation. They probably made some administrative mistakes or overbooked something or other.

A number of VJers have had this happen. In many cases the interview was rescheduled fairly soon - and in one or two cases was actually sooner than the original date. In cases where individuals have sought further information through infopasses the majority of the cancellations don't seem to have anything to do with the applicant as much as they do with USCIS themselves: staff no longer available that day; file not yet arrived from where it originated; security check still not completed. For a while, offices were conducting interviews even though security checks weren't completed. There has been a recent policy change so that interviews will no longer be done until after security checks are completed. Your cancellation could be for anyone of these reasons. If you don't hear something soon I would advise making an infopass and ask to speak to an Immigration officer. They should be able to give you some information about why the appointment was cancelled and perhaps even expedite a re-schedule.

this happened to us, but we were rescheduled shortly afterward, however with the changes that are supposed to go through for 2007, you may wait a bit longer. i guess time will tell.

Az,

Sorry.... The US govt owes no one an explanation. With this being said, you should just go to the interview as scheduled, take the letter which they had sent you inviting you to attend the interview. Act as if you never received the email from them. I know people who received the same email, I told them to go. Guess what? All of those people showed up for the interview and were approved, USCIS officers never mentioned anything about their interviews being cancelled.

However, if you receive a letter from USCIS informing you of this, then you don't have to show up. However, for an email, I wouldn't trust it at all. My advise, you want to be done and approved with your greencard process, act like an idiot, get hold og all your immigration paperwork, evidence go to the scheduled interview. If they interview you and approve your case, then what do you lose? if they tell you your case was rescheduled, you can always find out when it will be rescheduled. The officer can always check in their system. if you don't show up, USCIS is a terrible organization, your petition can be denied based on lack of showing up for your interview. So, take that email with a grain of salt...

YuAndDan,

Yes, good references, and do you also have links to some of the threads where the people believed that the interview was cancelled, failed to attend, and then received denial notices for failure to show for the interview?

People who receive those cancellation notices should be very wary.
