Received a letter from USCIS on Friday. I've been called for an Interview.

 

Must admit I'm pretty disappointed. I know sometimes interviews are selected at random, but can't help but feel a little down that the letter wasn't to inform me of an approval.

I'm not too worried about the interview itself, I know my wife and I will breeze through it, but the worst part is that it isn't for another six weeks! Then, as far as I've read on here, you don't get an answer for a couple of weeks or so after that.

 

So looks like I have another couple of months to go before I can even hope for an approval. And now I have to gather a whole bunch of documental proof of our ongoing relationship all over again. This sucks.

@rpaterson, I'm so sorry to hear that you've gotten called for an interview. What a ridiculous pain in the ***! At least you know where you stand, though, instead of having it just drag on indefinitely.

Yes, some people wind up having to wait for approval after their interview. But some people get approved right there in the room - and far be it from me to accuse the US government of being racist ;) but the fact that you seem to be a white person from an English-speaking nation may well stack the odds in your favour. It's completely unfair, but it is what it is.

Best of luck at getting that approval at your interview, and again, I'm sorry you got this news after waiting so long!

Sorry for the twist in your process, but I'm pretty sure they will approve your case very soon.

Btw, did you make another Info Pass before getting the interview letter?

I am a July 11th filer, and now they are processing July 19th.  I am contemplating getting another info pass to see what is going on.

Thank you nightingalejules. I hope we get an answer during the interview, but if not I guess we'll just have to keep waiting. What's another couple of months on top of how long I've already waited! :angry:

Thanks jtyshxq. I made one Service Request online to which I received an email saying the case was still pending and to continue waiting. Then I called and spoke to someone who opened another Service Request. Shortly after that I received the letter in the mail. But I don't know if it was triggered by the second Service Request or not as it came quite quickly after the phone call.

Thank you Fox77. I had an interview back in 2014, but that was the interview that all CR-1 applicants must attend prior to receiving the visa to allow entry into the US in the first place. That's the only interview I've ever had to attend before this one.

Do you mean Adjustment Of Status? It wasn't an AOS interview, it was an IR-1/CR-1 interview and it was back in the UK.

 

For dates and info you can check my signature or timeline, it's all there.

Maybe that's why you got an interview. For my case, I had an interview for the visa and another interview prior to receiving my 2 year green card. 

I think it's a normal procedure for your case

 

Don't stress you'll be fine !

Yes sir that properly sucks. Sorry man. 

I guess you take positives in that you know what’s going on, and you can build a cast iron case. Bombard them with so much info about your life and relationship it gives them no option but to say - here have your green card. 

 

Sorry - wish I could say something more positive. Can you try getting an appointment see if the interview can be moved up a bit closer - try get a cancellation slot? Best wishes!
