Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / April 2006Confused as to why my N-400 interview was cancelled??
Has anyone here had any experience with USCIS cancelling your interview a week before you were supposed to appear for the appt? Also, how long after they cancelled your appt did you receive a new one? I am just really confused as to why mine was cancelled. My biometrics was complete and I thought everything checked out fine. What do you all think? Taterbug > Has anyone here had any experience with USCIS cancelling your > interview a week before you were supposed to appear for the appt?

The reasons can be as varied as the people conducting or attending the interview. Vacation, illness, overscheduling, file not returned from the land of storage, etc. It need not be because of something about your case but would, I would hazard to guess, to be because of a mundane office issue. As for the time involved for the rescheduling, that would require a crystal ball, candlelight and a full moon. I'll get back to you when the planets are in alignment.  SignatureI'm not an attorney.

My August 2005 interview was cancelled "due to unforeseen circumstances". I called the USCIS customer service line to ask about this. Mine was being processed at the Baltimore office and the rep I talked to said the Baltimore office was notorious for such cancellations, mainly due to over estimation of applicants. I'm guessing they did not realize they have made appointments for too many people. The rep said it's not due to problems about your case, mostly on the processing center itself. Mine was rescheduled on December 2005 but I did not receive that reschedule notice until after a month or so. > My August 2005 interview was cancelled "due to unforeseen > circumstances".

I'd be very surprised if the rep knew anything at all about the Baltimore office let alone that they were notorious for such cancellations. This is probably the stock answer they've been told to provide (regardless of the office involved) to allay the fears of anyone who calls them. REP: USCIS hot line, how may I help you? YOU: My N-400 interview has been cancelled what do I do now? REP: What office was your interview at? YOU: Baltimore. REP: Just a moment... (reading from sheet of paper designed to answer this exact question)... it seems the insert name here office is notorious for such cancellations due to overbooking. They will send you a notice within 120 days to reschedule. YOU: Oh... okay, thanks. REP: You're welcome... (you both hang up - and rep leans over to her friend in the next cubicle) hey, Gloria... I just got another one! I can't believe how gullible people are... they'll believe just about anything we tell them... even if it's a lie! GLORIA: Yeah... I love this job!

I've started to doubt the reps at the customer service center that I''ve began to call more than twice just to get another rep and see if they answer the same thing, which in most cases aren't. Unfortunately in the end I just end up more confused. I was at the Baltimore office one time and asked people if theirs were cancelled as well. No one really got an answer from anybody regarding why it was cancelled. Some lawyers said the same reason, which was probably the same reason they got from calling the service center. > Has anyone here had any experience with USCIS cancelling your > interview a week before you were supposed to appear for the appt? [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > What do you all think? > Taterbug Real sorry about your appointment being cancelled. Not fun. Not fun at all. I have heard, of a couple cases like yours. It would appear to be, nothing more then a scheduling issue, ie. the agent you were scheduled to see, has gone sick, maternity leave, or emergency of some kind. All the other agents are already booked. You will get a new appointment. Reg. Frank R. > Real sorry about your appointment being cancelled. Not fun. Not fun > at all. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > appointment. > Reg. Frank R. Thankyou and I know it will be scheduled eventually, but afterall, there are the Immigrant protests that are taking place on Monday May 1st outside the immigration building, so I am almost sure this is the reason why they have cancelled mine and maybe others interviews for the first few days in May. And to be honest, I don't think I would be wanting to walk through that door while all of this is going on. My car may not be the same color when I come out from my interview..... > Thankyou and I know it will be scheduled eventually, but afterall, > there are the Immigrant protests that are taking place on Monday May [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > wanting to walk through that door while all of this is going on.
