Thanks, I appreciate the advice! The only issue is that I'm already in Europe. I would have rescheduled my trip but it would have been prohibitively expensive, and I'm here to see a family member who is pretty sick, so I didn't want to delay the trip. I have explained all of this the first time I rescheduled the appointment, and this was acknowledged, but then ignored when new appointment dates were provided. My dates are: Up to Oct 20: NYC Oct 21 – Nov 27: Europe From Nov 28: LA And the appointments given to me so far are: Oct 26 in NYC Oct 28 in NYC Dec 7 in NYC I could do a cross-country trip for the Dec 7 interview date, but again, this seems prohibitive and unnecessary. I'm not too worried about explaining why I rescheduled so many times, because this is not me changing my mind several times, but rather, being given interview dates and locations which are incompatible with the plans I stated from the very beginning. My question was about whether I should call and reschedule again now, or at some point around Nov 30 (after I get to LA but before my interview), so that my address on file is actually in California. I'm definitely not planning on just skipping the interview. I think I'll probably just call now, explain again, and hope they get it right this time!

Hi, I submitted my N-400 in July, expecting the process to take at least 6 months. I filed from NYC but my wife and I are moving cross-country to LA. Our plans were to spend a month in Europe in November during the move, so we'd fly back directly to LA with our stuff already there. The problem is that my interview got scheduled for a few days after our planned trip to Europe. I called to explain our situation, and the interview was rescheduled just a few days later, still during our trip. I called again, and my case was referred to the Brooklyn field office. They have now just rescheduled my interview, after our trip, but still in NYC when we asked for it to be scheduled in LA. I'm now concerned about calling repeatedly to reschedule, particularly with how difficult it seems to get information across. Would you advise I reschedule now anyway, to not waste any time? Or would you advise I wait until I move to California, file my change of address with USCIS, and then call to reschedule the interview (with a very short notice this time – less than a week)?

My case just got approved! Just updated my timeline, but essentially: Sep 6: Application received at USCIS Elgin lockbox Sep 9: 24-month extension letter from National Benefits Center Oct 3: Biometrics appointment (my first one, since I filed my I-130 from abroad) Mar 1: 48-month extension letter from National Benefits Center Mar 8: Approval letter from National Benefits Center The USCIS tracker shows: March 9, 2023 New Card Is Being Produced March 8, 2023 The fingerprints relating to your Form I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, were taken. September 6, 2022 We received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. I assume this means my interview was waived. This feels a bit arbitrary and unfair, but I'll take it!
