Hello, my wife and I were supposed to have our AOS i-485 interview last Friday at the Fresno FO, but we were called saying it has been cancelled due to the rise of Covid cases. We got our NOA for the cancellation in the mail on Tuesday, and on Wednesday I checked our case status and it's been updated to "request for initial evidence was sent". My guess would be that they're going to request her medical form and most likely a decision will be made on the case without an interview. I have read about people interviews being skipped due to Covid but I'm curious if USCIS are still bypassing interviews for visas? Has this happened to anyone recently?

 

Timeline:

 

June 12, 2020 - Packet sent

June 23, 2020 - Packet accepted

August 10, 2020 - NOA for outdated i-765 form

September 8, 2020 - Biometrics done

September 9, 2020 - Ready to be scheduled

July 15, 2021 - Interview scheduled

August 6, 2021 - Interview cancelled

August 18, 2021 - Initial evidence required

What does this mean?  USCIS doesn't conduct visa interviews..
