They cancelled my interview!!
Katmeeow
Hi everyone,
My Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status
interview was set for May 17th and it's been cancelled! They emailed
me, and I called to confirm. What does this mean? Do I have anything
to worry about?

Who e-mailed you? Which USCIS facility?
You called who? Which USCIS facility? And did you ask "why" when you
called?

Hi:
Word of warning. On the immigration attorney chat rooms, there have
been instances reported of adjustment denied for failure to appear
where the person and their attorney relied on the cancellation notice.
Based upon this advice, I would go to already scheduled interview and
see what happens.

Hi, I know how you feel. My N-400 interview was cancelled 6 days before
I was to attend my interview on May 2nd. There was no concrete reason
stated in the letter and I had no number to call to confirm but I had an
idea why it was cancelled given the immigrant protests at that time.
They may have cancelled yours due to over booking of appts, someone
taking holidays at this time, maternity leave, etc...the list goes on. I
would not worry about it too much though. As many people have said on
here, you will get your appt scheduled again eventually. I still have
not received any word on when mine will be rescheduled but leave it to
USCIS, my new appt will probably be during my booked holiday times or
when I am leaving to go visit my family in Canada. My advice in your
matter (and no choice in the matter I might add too).....keep on waiting
and it will eventually come.(again)

Hi Mr. F,
Even though I received a letter of cancellation, are you saying that I
should have gone to mine as well just to see what would have happened??

We had the same thing, then we wrote a letter to the local office of
USCIS, asking for explanation, and USCIS officer called us on our
cellphone and told us that our AOS interview has NOT been cancelled, and
that we need to come to our interview on the date indicated in our
initial invitation-letter.
Try doing the same thing, dont rely on that letter.
good luck!

Hi:
Remember that you have no right to rely on what the government tells
you; the Supreme Court has said so [Schweiker v Hansen].
I said that on immigration chat boards there has been screaming of where
cases have been denied for failure to appear at scheduled interviews
simply because of belief in a cancellation notice.
In light of the two above points, people should govern themeselves
accordingly. The choice of what to do is up to them.

Love that line.
There must be plenty of material here for a sequel:
Catch 22 - US Immigration
But when you hear so many stories of USCIS losing your paperwork,
perhaps this would be a good example to mislay theirs and see
what happens.
Whats the worst that can happen?, you waste a few hours.

Reliability isn't USCIS's strongest quality... :eek:

Thanks for the info Mr. F.
Well now I guess I wait and see what happens now that my supposed appt
date of May 2nd has come and gone. Not much else that I can do at this
point, but I hate to think that I got screwed out of getting my
citizenship.

Update:
So I went to the local office to double check, and they kindly informed
me that our interview was NOT cancelled. Good thing I checked!! They
don't know why I got a cancellation notice, I suppose it shall forever
remain a mystery.
I'm all set for next week - wish us luck!

Not true!! You can always rely on them to be unreliable. ;)
