My wife came here on a k1 visa.   We got married and filed paperwork Aug 2024.  Then we received a letter saying our interview was waived and wait time for green card was 10 months per site step three checked. This was Oct. 2024.  Then today (March 2025) We received a letter saying we have an interview in Apr. 2025.  We went to the site to check the status. Step three was now unmarked.  Wait time for green card 12 months.  Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Yeah, I suspect green card interviews will no longer be waived, full stop.

I didn't know USCIS waived the initial AOS interview. I heard of ROC being waived (mine was too)

since covid they had been waiving some of them, but with the new administration more than likely every AOS applicant will have an interview.

It automatically gets checked, I'm assuming it's the 3rd step you're talking about? They automatically check it and can always ask for one.

Approved/NOA2: 06-05-24

Interview: 09-13-24 APPROVED
