Business as usual...it doesn't mean anything is wrong. Some people get an ROC waiver and others don't. Sometimes they issue an RFE and sometimes they don't.

Thank you for the comforting words even though I'm still overthinking, lol..

Do you believe your case has any potential red flag that draws USCIS attention?

Having an interview does not necessarily mean there are red flags.  I believe USCIS has changed the policy regarding interview waivers recently (there is a thread or two discussing this in a forum somewhere).  I think one that is big is the second point.  If someone did an AOS with an interview waiver, then most likely they will get an ROC interview regardless of points 1, 3 and 4.

 

To the OP, I realize you filed before December 10, 2018, but this is the policy that may have triggered the interview.  I don't think there will be any issues.  My wife had interviews for the K1, AOS, ROC and N400 with no RFEs and no red flags.

 

Good Luck!

 

USCIS Revises Interview Waiver Guidance for Form I-751

USCIS has issued a policy memorandum (PDF, 115 KB) (PM) providing guidance to USCIS officers on when to consider waiving the interview requirement for Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. This PM goes into effect on December 10, 2018 and applies to all Form I-751 petitions received on or after December 10.

Generally, USCIS officers must interview a conditional permanent resident who is the principal petitioner on a Form I-751, unless the interview is waived. This guidance explains that officers may consider waiving an interview if they are satisfied that:

• They can make a decision based on the record because it contains sufficient evidence about the bona fides of the marriage and that the marriage was not entered into in order to evade U.S. immigration laws;
• For Form I-751 cases received on or after December 10, 2018, USCIS has previously interviewed the principal petitioner;
• There is no indication of fraud or misrepresentation in the Form I-751 or the supporting documentation; and
• There are no complex facts or issues that require an interview to resolve.

When determining whether to waive an interview, these considerations apply regardless of whether the Form I-751 is filed as a joint petition or as a waiver of the joint filing requirement.

This PM applies to all USCIS officers adjudicating Form I-751 and fully replaces the June 24, 2005, PM, “Revised Interview Waiver Criteria for Form I-751, Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence.”

To echo other posters, a small percentage of ROC cases receive interviews even though there are no red flags. Your case seems to fall in that category. Don't worry overly. Collect some of the same kind of evidence (bank statements, etc) that you sent with your application but that's accumulated since filing & take it to your interview. You'll be fine.

Thanks to those that have chimed in,  just hard not to think if anything went wrong with the application.

Once it's completed at NBC, it will pass on to your local office to schedule an interview. Actually my wife and I got a notice from Queens filed office for i751 interview, but we filed n400 so our case was automatically transferred to NBC, then queens office.
