AOS cancelled due to "unforeseen circumstances"

[js0622 4]

Hello all,

I finally had my interview scheduled for march 9th 2015, I was so excited hoping they approve me on the spot and i can finally go back to Canada to visit my friends and family after being away for 2 years.

Night before the interview i checked online status and it says interview was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

I read to still show up just in case and thats what we did but they still didnt see us for an interview.

Im super upset at this. Why is this happening? And how long will it take? Did anyone have experience where they got approved with out having to interview?? Could that be the case?

Any advice helps. I hate so much being stuck in this situation of not knowing when and why.

Thank you!

It is dependent on which visa you came on and whether or not you received a potential interview waiver letter. No idea why your interview got cancelled though.

Just saw how you came into the country and how you got married. You WILL have to have an interview, you wont get a waiver, so you're going to have to wait for another appointment.

I didnt need a visa when I entered USA as a Canadian. I entered as a visitor.

I didnt need a visa when I entered USA as a Canadian. I entered as a visitor.

Specifically, interviews can be waived for I-485 applications for:

• Unmarried minor children and stepchildren of U.S. citizens (IR7 and CR7) that are accompanied by original or certified copies of supporting documents;
• Parents of U.S. citizens (IR0) that are accompanied by original or certified copies of supporting documents;
• K1/K2 entrants— Fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens and children of Fiancé(e)s (CF1/CF2);
• Natives/Citizens of Cuba filing under 11/2/66 Act (also spouses/children of such individuals regardless of their citizenship and place of birth) (CU6/CU7);
• Unmarried & Under 14 year old children of lawful permanent residents (F27);
• Cases where the applicant has been interviewed in the course of an investigation or field examination, and the adjudicating examiner determines that further interview of the applicant is unnecessary;
• Cases in which there is sufficient evidence contained in the record to support a denial of the adjustment of status application.

A lot of interviews were cancelled last couple weeks due go severe weather, so they have to reschedule everything it is completely normal. Please wait for other appointment. Good luck.

Thanks for your reply! I live in Florida and the weather has been good here. But it will probably get rescheduled... i hope soon... i guess Ill keep waiting.

It was probably due to the bad weather in some states.

Typically interviews get rescheduled because the file didn't make it into local office or they haven't finished all the background checks. As others said, you will have interview.

Canadians get an automatic B2 visa when they're admitted as visitors.

You will get your interview, I would just guess, you will be notified within a week to 10 days, from today.

Good luck, and also a swift date for the interview.

The weather was the cause I am sure.,..,..,I have paid very close attention to the weather, especially the north, very bad during that time.

long time ago... I got mine cancelled twice, both times I received a cancellation letter for unforeseen circumstances, so frustrating.

I was told by my interviewer (on the third take) that the district offices were scheduling too many interviews in the local offices and they had to cancel a few. It did not seem to be anything special.

Wow, thats horrible. I really really hope that doesnt happen in my case. I just want to get my green card desperately because i want to travel back home to visit. Its been almost 2 years. Otherwise I cant, because technically I overstayed and it would be risky to leave USA even with a travel authorization document.

Hopefully I get a new interview scheduled soon... But still nothing.

so when you were inside the building,

did you ask for a new interview letter to be generated right there?
