I-485 - Did not get interview notice but received voicemail saying interview is Monday. Urgent advice needed.

[azry 1]

Hi guys, I don't know if this is the right place for this but I need some urgent advice.

I applied for my green card at the end of January and my case status has been at "Case Is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview" since April 13. I originally filed it from an address in San Francisco but moved to Chicago about a month and half ago with my wife who is from here. When we moved here we submitted a change of address online and received a notice from USCIS mailed to our new address so I assume that the new address was in their records.

Today my wife missed a call while at work from our case officer at USCIS. In the voicemail, she mentioned that there was an issue with the mailing address and she was calling to confirm the address. She also asked if we would be attending the interview this Monday(!). I didn't receive any notice in the mail and my online case status is still the same as it's been since April 13. The officer mentioned in the voicemail that she would only be in the office for another 20 minutes so by the time my wife could call back it was too late. Now it's the weekend and there's no way of us getting in touch with her or anyone at USCIS to confirm.

Basically, I have no idea what to do now. Should we just show up at USCIS on Monday morning? Or should I wait and hope that the officer calls back at some point? Is there an alternative way of getting in touch with someone at USCIS over the weekend? I assume the interview will be held at the Chicago field office. She also didn't mentioned a specific date or time but I assume it's this coming Monday 6th of June.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first post but this forum has helped me greatly through this entire process!

Thanks in advance.

USCIS is closed on the weekends.

I would suggest appearing at the Chicago field office first thing Monday morning and ask to speak to the officer who left you the message. Assume that you're having your I-485 interview.

Thank you for the advice, Hypnos. Looks like I'll just have to show up early Monday to try to figure out what time the interview is.

I think you both should go early on Monday and explain your situation. no show to your interview may turn into denial of the case.

Thanks for the responses. Just a quick update, I managed to call my officer that morning to confirm my interview time and my case was approved!
