All transfers from the beggining of December from Vermont to NBC now went to we are ready to schedule your interview Form I751

[Citycouple 1]

Hi

Today received a notification that the case is ready for an interview and seems very strange, because I did have a interview  for I485 and sent tons of documents.

Yesterday I received a notification my case is ready for an interview, move from biometric directly to interview and no RFE or anything.

What seems strange, in case tracker all other cases near mine that were move on the same day as I did, all of them status change to case ready for interview, I'm speaking over 25 cases near mine.

 

Can this be a mistake on their end and send all this cases to interview?

I485 interview doesn't guarantee an I751 waiver, though they've been pretty common recently from what people are reporting. I also think I've seen at least one case where someone's status changed from "waiting for interview" to "card approved" or something like that without any interview. At least there is progress on your case, good luck!

Really? I thought that was not possible to move from waiting for internet to approved.

 

I got really worry even my lawyer, cause he said he never sees interview on i751 but seeing over 20 cases near mine that change on the exact same date and same status, make feel somebody went and send all cases together for an interview. Cause no other cases around me on that date, had any other status.

I heard it’s common to have an interview actually. Just be glad your case is moving and people in your area are seeing movement. An interview is never bad! I heard it’s very hard to be denied at this point. Unless you got major red flags! So congrats! You’re nearly there! 
 

How long have you been waiting? I applied in April 2020 and at Potomac. So many people have been approved instantly at MSC. Potomac is the slowest right now! So just waiting patiently..... 
 

Good Luck!

All searches point to stokes interview for i751. I never heard anything good about interviews for i751, because they said I751 99% of the time gets approved with no interview. I have no idea why they send us to interview, doing great first interview and sending tons of documents.

I apply on April 2020 and was at Vermont and then was transfer to NBC.

I think they tightened the reins on that. You are now expected to get an interview at this point even if you had one previously. This point has been made in other forums but who even knows.  You are definitely lucky if you do not. If you provided enough evidence then there shouldn’t be a problem. Just got to go with it. Still lucky to have gotten one under the 18 month mark. Potomac is looking at 18-22.5 month wait! Kind of crazy with how it keeps changing! Best of luck anyways. I’m sure everything will go well!

Reading online all the forum and websites from lawyer firms etc, they say this days most users get approved with no interview, they may get RFE but interview mostly is a bad sign.

I disagree.   Based on USCIS wavier criteria below, Generally, USCIS MUST interview the I-751 applicant.....  Immigrants who enter via A CR-1, have not been previously interviewed by USCIS, so they  MUST be interviewed.  It is not "a bad sign".  I think your sources are incorrect that 99% of I-751s don't get interviews.

It appears, to me, that ALL CR-1 immigrants MUST be interviewed.

In the above referenced guidance from USCIS, only those I-751 applicants who were previously interviewed by USCIS (during adjustment of status) would qualify for a possible interview waiver.  Thus, all CR-1 entrants (never interviewed by USCIS) who have submitted I-751s after 12/10/2018 would/will have interviews.

Because the rumor that 99% of cases don't have interviews is not true.   In addition, If you did not have an adjustment of status interview you MUST be interviewed for your I-751.

I did and send tons of evidence. I check on the tracker, there were a lot of cases move the same day as I was and then saw we all went to ready to be schedule for interview.  I being seeing in the forum here everybody gets approves who previously had an interview.

Yes this is correct, but I had interview and didn't have an CR1 but I know whoever didn't have one needs to go for a interview
