So, according to timelines and maybe estimates in interview scheduling, i am probably gonna have the aos interview probably october or november 2019. 

 

Our 2nd anniversary is on April 2020, which is gonna be just about 5-6 months difference. So I'm thinking maybe to postpone the interview until after our two year anniversary.

 

Is there any negative effect of postponing the interview so we could basically skip ROC and save money and time.

You can’t skip applying for removal of conditions. One cannot apply for citizenship until holding the green card for three years. So the clock hasn’t even started ticking yet...

We might even see August 2017 getting interview scheduled later this week.

What i meant was, if we postpone our interview to AFTER our 2 year anniversary, he will get a 10 year GC instead of the 2 year conditional GC, technically, skipping ROC since he won'tneed to remove conditions since there is none to remove. 

 

So, the question still stands, what are the repurcussions, if any, of rescheduling/postponing the interview.

Finally! Our interview has been scheduled yesterday. PD 07/12/2017, Houston. 

 

Just saw someone from Houston with PD 08/08/2017 recevied thier interview notice.

I really don’t think that’s how this works...

I will have been married 2 years in July but that’s not the date immigration cares about in terms of applications. They care about the date you first receive the green card. To apply for ROC is 2 years from the date of receipt of the conditional green card, not 2 years from the date of marriage.

If you have been married 2 years on july 2019 and your interview is AFTER july 2019, you should receive a 10 year GC not a 2 year GC thus skipping roc altogether. 

 

 

You get a conditional green card if you have been married lessv than 2 years, you get a non conditional green card if you're interview is AFTER your 2 year marriage. 

 

Read about the difference. Youll know what I mean. If you don't believe me.

Houston was behind. They are catching up. Dallas is slow now.

We had our interview last week, and the field officer said that she expected to approve it by the next day.  But this week the online case status changed to "Interview was completed and my case must be reviewed."  Not sure what it means or whether it's cause for alarm, but we were really expecting to get an approval notice, not this...

We haven’t used a lawyer at all in the process. Unless your case is unusually complicated, I would say it is not anymore valuable for the money.
