485 interview cancelled
Asylum-based I-485 interview cancelled — anyone with a similar experience?
Here is my timeline:
• December 2024: Filed my asylum-based I-485.
• January 2025: Biometrics completed.
• Interview scheduled for October 20, 2026.
• October 8, 2026: Status changed to “Interview Cancelled And Notice Ordered.”
The cancellation notice says “due to unforeseen circumstances” and that any further action, including a rescheduled interview, will be communicated in a separate notice.
My attorney said three other appointments scheduled for that day and the following day were also cancelled, so he does not think the cancellation was specific to my case. No new date has been provided.
Has anyone with an asylum-based I-485 experienced this? Were you rescheduled, approved without an interview, or asked for additional documents? How long did it take to receive the next update?
I would appreciate hearing your timeline and experience. Thank you!

I had a similar experience. They scheduled our interview, but about a week before it was supposed to happen, they canceled it. Since I had filed a WOM, the USCIS attorney emailed me requesting an extension because he had received notice that our interview had been scheduled. I explained that it had been canceled, so he went back to checking with the field office.
The day before our originally scheduled interview, the field office called and told us to come in on the date listed on our original notice.
The interview was honestly a joke. We spent about two hours waiting in the waiting room, then they asked us basic questions from the I-485 form and some questions about our marriage. A few days later, we received the approval!

@Rex Chen Thanks for the reply. How can I pass without an interview?
