Interview notices?

[Skyman 327]

I know everyone wants one but for those that have received one, were there any specific requests on the form specific to you? Mine just looks like a form letter listing off basically 'bring everything.' Even says bring the I-693 if you haven't already sent it.  Just wondering if anyone ever gets any specific requests related to their case?

Ours was just the form letter too. I think that is all that anyone gets but not 100% on that. 

 

[Adventine 3,213]

Ours was a templated letter too. Didn't ask for anything specific related to our case.

 

I guess USCIS expects everyone to know what does or does not apply to their case.

Always generic.

Y'all got an interview fairly quick. Congratulations.

Got the same thing when we got it in May 2019, I did bring with me the sealed I-693.

Imagine the biometric appointments wouldn't be so backlogged but would happen again in the first two months like it used to be. You would have speeded through it 😁

 

Please ask your IO about the military question in the I-485. I would like to hear more statements from USCIS about it.

Regarding the yes answers? I intend to. In fact, I plan to ask if they have US military members answering no to those.

I did for my husband and my IO said that's correct because it's not pointed to our own military but to foreign. That's why I'm interested to hear what other IOs have to say.

I wasn't able to find anything that exempted a yes answer.  If they only wanted foreign military replies they should have said so or exempted USCs from the questions or whatever.  I'm sure I'm not the first to answer Yes.

I really don't know why they are asking questions of the spouse anyway unless they want to know how much the beneficiary knows about their spouse.

The form is used for all sorts of status adjustments. For siblings, parents, children not just spouses. And all of them could have spouses in a foreign military.

Yes, but it would be easy to correct the form or add a note to the instructions.

Are you referring to #1 in Part 8?

They are of the generic kitchen sink variety. At least ours was for AOS.
