Hi all,

My Filipina wife and I have been waiting more than 2 years for resolution of our I-751 petition to remove conditions on her green card (since May 2014).

In the absence of any action, we have scheduled travel to the Philippines for the last week of August into the first week of September.

Of course after we finally purchased the tickets, we have received notification of an interview scheduled for August 31, right in the middle of our paid-for travel dates.

The question for the group is:

Does pre-paid travel such as this constitute "exceptional conditions" that will warrant rescheduling our interview?

Very desperate to hear any knowledgeable or thoughtful advice.

Thanks,

Gary

You could try sending copies of your non-refundable tickets with a uber-polite request to reschedule the interview, maybe?

Trip is non refundable then again now days To fly Philippines is 750 booked advance

Anyway call flight u have ticket with get with supervisor and change dates of traveling they may charge you 200$ or so still be better.

For my openiom Intervew is most important

If your wife been to US for 3 yr why not just file for Netaralization N400 ? And get citizenship then fly ?
