I knew this was going to happen. I told my wife to do the same day oath and we would get a urgent travel passport. 

 

But she took the advice of the interview officer after our combo interview. I wasn't there to interject. 

 

I'm currently at home with a broken leg. I just noticed that USCIS sent a notice through the mail. So I logged into her account and I saw that they scheduled her interview for May 9th. 

 

The USCIS officer I guess didn't schedule the date correctly. Or didn't do as promised. Who knows. 

 

Now I can't reach my wife as she's in middle of nowhere Philippines. I'm not sure how to solve this issue. 

 

Is it possible for her to miss the oath. Then reschedule afterwards?

@JMPM when is she scheduled to return to the US?

 

@Mike E First, thank you for all the incredible support and knowledge you share--I still learn from you 11 years into this. Pardon my uninformed question (I think I know the answer...), but is there any way for JMPM to contact USCIS on behalf of his wife and tell them that she is out of the country?

Mahalo/Salamat!

   She's scheduled for May 19 to fly back. Thank you. She sent a letter via email that I mailed on her behalf. Let's see if they accept it and reschedule or it gets rescheduled on its own. I appreciate it

@Mike thanks we can breathe a sigh of relief the customer service phone reps wasn't a big help. Despite the letter saying to call.

USCIS will reschedule one time without explanation.  I have read that if she misses 2 oaths without explaining, she will have to start from scratch.
