Naturalization Interview Cancelled
Hi all,
A friend of mine had his naturalization interview canceled by the Milwaukee USCIS office several months ago. He has a lawyer, but neither of them have received a new interview date. He's getting anxious.
Does anyone have a similar experience to share (even though I know it will have no bearing on his own case). Do you think making an Infopass appointment would give him any info?
Thanks,
Rene

Why was it cancelled?

Re: Naturalization Interview Cancelled
The cancelation notice said "due to unforseen circumstances".

Re: Naturalization Interview Cancelled
Seems bizarre that he hasn't heard anything since the cancellation. Not sure why he would need a lawyer for a naturalization application anyway. Has the lawyer checked on his behalf? If not, what is he being paid for? I would definitely recommend he follows up on this soon. I checked online and the processing times for N400 at Milwaukee is 5 months.

Re: Naturalization Interview Cancelled
He has a problematic case, hence the lawyer. The cancelation isn't due to his immigration problems, though. Yep, he's frustrated with the lawyer. .. he's emailed the lawyer 3 times (once a month since the cancelation), but the answer is always "haven't heard anything yet", which my friend already knows.
His 10 year green card will expire in 8 months, but that shouldn't matter, I think. He remains a PR even if the card expires.
Was just curious how long this might take. I know, how long is a piece of string!

I'd probably make an Infopass appointment and tell the lawyer the date and time. The case is probably sitting on someone's desk with a post it note saying "reschedule".

Re: Naturalization Interview Cancelled
All the information given here is third or fourth hand. I have no idea what the lawyer is doing, not doing or even can do.
The office where I am of counsel had a complicated removal defense going which is now up at the Court of Appeals. There is a long pending I-130 which is getting screwed up and we keep birddogging. It turns out that the Dark Forces are lying a lot and have the audacity to accuse us of fraud.

Re: Naturalization Interview Cancelled
This! It sounds like someone got sick or something so they had to cancel some appointments, and then they forgot to rearrange them.
