interview scheduled for wrong field office? twice?
Hi all! I’m a Canadian, married an American. I’m adjusting my status I485 (I also applied for a work and travel permit but haven’t received them yet).
We FILED our case in June 2021 in California when we lived there. We moved to Utah and changed our address with USCIS. I had a biometrics appointment in Salt Lake City field office and we receive our USCIS mail here also.
USCIS scheduled my green card i485 interview for January 2022 at the San Diego California field office. When we called to verify that they had our updated address correct, the agent informed us that the interview should take place at our home field office for our updated (Salt Lake) address.
So they cancelled the interview and we received an email confirming that they received the request to reschedule the interview in the Salt Lake City field office and that the request had been approved.
Then we got a new interview, for April 2022 - and they scheduled us for San Diego california field office, AGAIN.
Has anyone else moved after submitting their application? Does anyone have any experience interviewing at a different field office than their home one? Did they ask about it? Turn you away? Etc?
Any information about your experiences would be appreciated. Thanks.

Attend the interview if not they will keep canceling and pushing the interview date far

your best bet is to fly out there to attend it because if they did this mistake twice what will happen if they did it a third time?
Eddie debzyMar 20, 2022
@Victory you right, they should just attend it to avoid further issues
Victory VictoryMar 20, 2022
@Debzy, yes! bcuz there’s no guarantee that the 3rd one will be correct.

that’s happened to my friend but he went to the field office that they scheduled his interview he fly 2 hours in a plane to get there and thanks God he got his green card. just go to the interview
Olivia PHMar 21, 2022
