Hello everyone,

I received this email today regarding the processing of my I-485

"The interview scheduled in this case has been canceled. You will be notified if the interview is rescheduled."

I am totally freaking out because I do not know if our petition is going to be denied. My I-130 has not been approved yet though, is that why the I-485 was cancelled???
Any advice and karma will be greatly appreciated.
Laura

Hi Laura,

I've seen this happen on the forum a few times. It doesn't mean a denial. It could be as simple as the person scheduled to do your interview won't be in that day, and his/her appointments need to be changed. Don't stress, just wait for the next appointment letter.

Best Wishes,
Rene

Thank you Rene,

I have not received any letter though. It was jus an email. I don't know if I shouldn't worry because my I-130 has not been approved yet. But I cannot imagine that they were going to schedule an appointment without the petition for alien relative being approved.
I appreciate you answer. Have a great easter!

In cases like yours where the I-130 and I-485 were filed together, they adjudicate them the same day at the same interview

Hi -- I just updated my fingerprints (reaching the 15 month mark and AOS still pending). Later that day I checked status on the uscis website and got your exact same message.

I freaked because I thought I (or my attorney) had missed an appointment letter or notification -- which we hadn't.

I did an INFOPASS appt at the NYC district office -- the immigration officer looked at my case and said 'no appointment has been made, and no appointment had been cancelled' -- the last transaction on file was the fingerprint update.

The officer did not have any explanation for the cryptic website update. She said nothing to worry abt and case is proceeding as normal. I asked if there was any reason for concern and she said no.

So, right back at square one: waiting. (I understand 25-27 months. ugh!). Filed i-485/i-130 in Sep 2003. So maybe in a few months...?

best of luck. if you dig and find something out, pls let me know.

NO, it doesnt mean denial,
they probably will re-schedule your interview very soon,
i had the same situation, after waiting for couple of weeks we wrote letter to local USCIS office, in which we asked for explanation why our interview has been cancelled, and then after couple days they called to my wife's cellphone (we put number in our letter to them) and told her that they reinstated our interview on the same date as it was scheduled.
so, maybe you do the same, never hurts to try.
good luck!

Did you just have your fingerprints taken -- 2nd set..?

I noticed your same message right around when they took prints. I got your same message the day I had my 2nd set taken. The status then changed a few days later when they verified that new fingerprints had been received.

This is exactly what happened to me. I went for my second fingerprint. When I got back I check the ins website and the same message were posted. I guess I shouldn't be worried after all.

Thanks for your post, feel a little at ease now.

Hi - this happned to my wife too, our interview was cancelled beause person was going on vacation.

Anyway - do call the local office about the appointment as in our case they keep delaying giving us date.

this does not look good in my opinion but if you are genuine and all
your legal paperwork is in order then I feel you will get a fair
hearing and if you meet al relevant criteria you will be approved .

Have faith in the Lord and you will be fine.

What the heck??. LOL

Here is a round of karma for everyone! (well, except you, Hyper, cuz i ran out of karma for this 24 hours and i have a feeling i would need to spread some around before giving it to you again anyway - but here is a ((Huggie)) for you!)

I've just had the same message for my daughter's AOS. Now I'm in a panic!! We entered the US on January 26 2004 and have a notice date of May 3rd 2004 (sent to Atlanta).

Both my application and my daughter's appication's were "touched" on 29th March and 30th March.
