Notified of GC interview scheduled, but won’t be at home to receive the letter

[Rocko20 159]

I’m US Air Force and have been currently deployed for 6 months. Before I deployed, my wife was admitted to America on the K1 and we filed for AOS. Fast forward to now she has her EAD and everything is going well while she works in Hawaii and I’m still deployed until May 10

 

So, May 5th we get the USCIS online notification that an interview is scheduled. The problem is that me and my wife have planned our vacation in Nevada for May 10-19 (these vacation dates after my deployment were planned back in February, obviously we had no idea the green card interview would only be a 7 month wait from when we first filed AOS in October) and we won’t be at home to receive any USCIS mail 

 

We called USCIS and submitted a request to reschedule but obviously we still won’t be at home to receive any mail on the original date or possible rescheduled date 

 

Should I be worried about this? Or is there a low chance the actual interview will happen during that 10 day window we will be gone? As of now, I’m worried some mail will arrive on the 13th with instructions to go for an interview on the 18th, despite the fact we already submitted a request for reschedule to be on the safe side.

If you got a notification May 5, there is a chance that the interview letter won’t arrive until the week of 13th. And most likely your interview won’t be until first or second week of June.  So based on your story, you should be back from vacation before June arrives.  I got my notice May 2, and got the letter in the mail today the 9th and my interview won’t be until June 6

For me, the interview was scheduled for about one month after the interview notice. You should be back before the interview. Have you thought about rescheduling your vacation?

Thanks, that was the type of timeline I was looking for. Much appreciated

Thanks as well, it gives me some relief 

 

I wish we could reschedule the vacation but the issue is I’ve already bought all plane tickets to Nevada which wasn’t cheap. And I’ve alreaud submitted my request for leave as well as my wife getting her days off. Obviously this GC interview take priority over anything, we simply didn’t think it was going to come up in 7 months. 

 

Either way, thank you for your information
