Re-scheduling interview

[ed-j 1]

I guess I'm mostly looking for any popular opinion or personal experience people may have for re-scheduling the AOS interview.

We just got our appointment letter over the weekend, and the interview is scheduled for March 11th. However, I (the USC wife) have a business trip that week that takes me several states away. I only have one business trip a year, and they picked that week! Oy!

So, we called this morning to request a reschedule. We were told we'd hear back as to whether or not we could be rescheduled within 15 days. The customer service rep didn't ask many questions, so it felt a little impersonal and disinterested.

Anyone have thoughts on how reasonable USIC is about non-medical-emergency reschedules for these interviews? I'm more than happy to be at the interview, just any other week!

I rescheduled my August 11th appt for my husbands AOS. I had plane tickets bought to be out of country. I received an email back about 10 days b4 interview saying request to reschedule granted. Fast fwd. to October...they send an abandonment of interview that he was permanently denied unless we could find fault with uscis and appeal within 30 days of the date on letter (by time we got the letter it was 20 days) . Had to make infopass appt for the only open time slot in that 30 day window. Brought copies of email correspondence with the approval to reschedule. They had no record of it, from what we were told, had a nice lady who went the extra mile and spoke to her supervisor. She wasn't sure but she felt good about it since we had email proof. Had to appeal to reopen case. Spent another month biting our nails waiting. By end of November we received notice that they agreed to reopen case and we will be notified the interview date. It's February no interview notice yet. Moral of story SKIP THE TRIP!!!! trust me I understand how difficult that must be but it's really really risky to skip. Good luck
