Interview or not

[lumpy115 0]

Hello,

For those of you who have been through the process and required an interview to remove the conditions of permanent residence, when did you get the interview notice. We are now at the point where we have received out biometrics notice, and my wife is going to day in fact to get her biometrics. I'm just wondering if we may still get an interview notice, or if we would have gotten that before the biometrics?

Thanks.

You will know you are not getting an interview when your wife's 10 year greencard arrives....... good luck

Kez,

Thanks for the reply. My question was more for those people who actually had an interview. I would like to know when they got the interview notice, before or after the biometrics. Thanks again.

You may not get any replies as very very few people get an interview..... but good luck.

My guess would be that if you are going to have an interview it would be the last step in the process of adjudicating your petition. Same as with AOS. So the biometrics would definitely come before you get the invitation for the interview.

We submitted our I-751 in April, 2006. Some time in November of 2006 as soon my case happened to be outside of the processing dates I call Customer Service and made a request. About a month later we received a letter stating that our case had been randomly chosen for an interview and they were awaiting for scheduling from our local office. During the next 4 months I called a few times and made 2 or 3 requests. In the beginning of March, 2007 we received RFE. That was a big surprise! All the evidences we sent in April of 2006 didn’t fit in a regular envelop and we had to do a special sipping package (2 binders). It took about a month to put everything together and we sent a new package. My 12 months extension expired on April 21 of 2007. So, I made an INFO PASS appointment and drove to our local office (which is 4 hours away) to get my passport stamped on April 23 of this year. While being there I made a request on my case status but the lady who stamped my passport didn’t have any further information. So many people suggest scheduling an INFO PASS appointment to get an update on a case status. I just have to say that I would be very mad if I drove 8 hours to hear what I was told (nothing!!!!!!!) It wasn’t so bad for me because it wasn’t my main reason to go there. Two weeks late we received an interview invitation, which was conducted on May 23.

Lumpy,

After. Biometrics is a routine thing that can be scheduled when the petition is received by USCIS. Deciding whether or not an interview should be held won't happen until the case is reviewed by a case officer. It'll spend some time on the shelf waiting its' turn before that happens.
