Interview cancelled and Notice Ordered
My interview was scheduled for April 1st and I received the notice for the interview as well. But all of a sudden I see this status update today. Anyone has received this? what could be the possible reasons? FO Seattle but interview was scheduled in Portland. #interviewcancelled#seattle#portland# UPDATE : I sent my medical with the initial application and its been less than 2 years, so I was told that it will still be valid.

its maybe a notice of them telling you why they cancelled your interview.but after rfe response received it took them 5 months to schedule your interview??
A
Ak AkMar 2, 2022
yes. For what I know, Seattle FO is running very late. my question was around what should I prepare for in my side based on what situation others have faced with similar case.

@Ak Ak the notice is nothing bad they maybe are just telling you they are cancelling and will reschedule your interview with a future date

Ak AkMar 2, 2022
Yes, just concerned about the timeline. it feels like forever….

my interview was cancelled last year on December as well in Seattle office, am waiting to be rescheduled again it’s been 3 months of waiting for a new date and almost 3 years since we sent the i-130 application.

@LL I don’t know where to call.

Ak AkMar 3, 2022
@munchkin munchkin I hope for the best. it’s been a long time and all I can do is to wait for the notice to arrive in the mail.

@Mercy Did you tried reaching out to them? The only way to connect that I know is through Emma chat live agent. but in this occasion they didn’t have much information on the response.

I am creating this post so that everyone who is in similar situation can read others experience and have some knowledge. There are many uncertainties with this process and everyone need some place to refer.

Yes my lawyer contacted the ombudsman office that’s why we got an interview after 2 years of waiting but they it got cancelled due to been late and now I guess we just have to wait and see. I know they are understaffed coz my interviewer told us she would have interviewed us it’s just that they don’t have enough staff, so if you get your interview date don’t be late with even 5 minutes.

got my notice today and it just mention that due to unforeseen circumstances the interview is canceled. A separate notice will be sent to reschedule or something else. This sucks. why so much wait….
Nat NNMar 11, 2022
Was your interview rescheduled? I had exactly same problem as you. I am in Seattle and my interview was scheduled in Portland on April 8th. Got very excited and on March 8th, one week after scheduled it was canceled. Just would like to know if they take too long to reschedule.

Ak AkMar 11, 2022
I am still waiting, is your I-130 got approved?
Nat NNMar 11, 2022
Nope! my I-130 was last updated 12 months ago when they received. my I-131 was approved in October and that’s all was approved. Very upsetting to have interview schedule and canceled. it seems like our process has same timeline and both Seattle to be scheduled in Portland

Ak AkMar 11, 2022
yes, it sucks.

Ak AkMar 11, 2022
Let me know if you hear something, I will keep you posted as well.
Nat NNMar 11, 2022
Will do! thank you 😊

@Nathanny did you send your medical report with the initial application?
Nat NNMar 12, 2022
no I didn’t. I just got my medical exam since the interview was going to be next month. I just heard from 3 girls that are in a what’s app group (GC in Seattle), that they had their interview waived. they did not send the exam and they asked to send to USCIS and then had I130 approved and got the GC without interview 😅

Mercy ZagrockiMar 12, 2022
I didn’t know you need to send a medical report while applying for I-130?
A
Ak AkMar 12, 2022
Nathanny, how long did it take for them to get the GC. can you add me to the group if it’s fine with you guys please?
A
Ak AkMar 12, 2022
Mercy, that’s the way I did it as I was told that it might speed the process a bit.
Nat NNMar 12, 2022
yes I sure can. I just need your phone number because is a what’s app group. one of them applied in December 2020, another I don’t know and another applied March 2021 (same month as me).
A
Ak AkMar 13, 2022
how to share number on here securely? 😄
M
Mercy ZagrockiMar 13, 2022
oh I didn’t know that, but my lawyer told me that I don’t need to have medical since I haven’t submitted I-17 something
Nat NNMar 13, 2022
I use my name in here, find me on IG or Facebook and I think is gonna be safer you share your number there
