Interview Scheduled Notification, Moving This Weekend

[SV350z 3]

Hi everyone,

 

Some of you know me, we've been waiting over a year and our case has been slow, we FINALLY got the notification on the USCIS website, "we scheduled an interview for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status" and as luck would have it this weekend we are moving from Virginia to Texas because of my job! I am a software engineer and regularly move. The last time I moved, USCIS has sent my spouse's EAD via mail, it got returned, it's been 7 months and we still have not gotten it resent because they have us waiting.

 

My question is... does anyone have experience with this?  If I notify them of moving, what will happen now, the notice is in the mail.  I can get the notice and even attend the interview in the other state if that is the best option (I don't want our case set back months or years again).

 

Is there any way to notify them now and get an interview at a local field office without without losing our place "in line"? Does anybody have any advice? I am desperate.

 

Thanks

If you got the notice that your interview has been scheduled, that means just that. That it has been scheduled already and the notice with information on where and when is already on its way to you. If you can’t attend the date and time they scheduled you for, it’s gonna take a while to get your new date in. Specially if you’re moving. If I were you I would just keep that date, get everything done then move. It’s not worth changing it. USCIS can delay things even more when you try to change stuff. After you attend your interview you change your address to your new one. Make sure you set up usps to forward your mail because if your greencard gets shipped to the old address you will at least still get it in the new one.

I have no personal experience with this. Having said that, you'll likely incur a delay with the transfer to a new field office, as the transfer will not be immediate and they'll have cases ahead of you at the new location. Your notice is already in transit to your currently filed address, it's probably too late to have it successfully re-directed by USPS unless you've already filed for mail forwarding. Overall, while it won't be set back by years, it may be a few/several weeks.

keep that iinterview and attend to that interview then change addres, you can move to your new addres and dirve or flight to your interview.

usually they send the interview letter one month before interview. if you change to  anew location that mean more delay, and maybe when they have a new interview for you you are going to move again

Thanks everyone! I will keep you all posted and update my timeline for others waiting.  We are going to keep the interview and just fly, not worth risking waiting in line more time!
