I am going back to China next month. I was a bit concerned too, but I called local USCIS, NBC, China Border Control, Beijing Airport. all got very positive answer. Bring your EAD, AP, copy of marriage license, should be fine. I also checked which port of entry is easier, looks like no big difference. It doesnt have to be emergencies. as long as you tell them why you are travelling out of country.

My local USCIS office even said I can reschedule the interview if I am out of country when they scheduled my interview...it's totally fine. who knows how long we will wait for the interview notice,,,

Thank you!

Philippians 4: 6-7. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

I hadn't really posted before but I filed on December 19 and got my notice receipt on December 24 and went in for biometrics on January 20. From there we got the EAD approved on March 24 and now we got an interview scheduled for May 6 barely got the notification today. So just waiting on the letter. I hope for all of you to get your interview soon. My status before this just said we have received your fingerprints fee or something like that never changed till right now.

Question, it says that you filed for a Cr1. Are you adjusting from a K-1 or another type of visa?

Congratulations on your interview notice!

Hi everyone!

I got an update from my status today, it says that my interview has been scheduled on May 11.

Dang...your timeline is similar to our's.

We received potential interview waiver letter, so I'm not counting on getting the interview.

It's bit illogical that one can have a strong case and thus interview is waived,

but you have to wait longer...seems backwards... :no::angry::lol:
