My wife (US citizen) and I (applicant) could not attend our scheduled i-485 interview (Jan 8th) as we were out of the country with pre-planned travel (seeing my grandmother who is in hospice care).
We following the instructions outlined on the interview request letter, and called USCIS to reschedule the interview (on Dec 11th). The officer we spoke with put in a request, to which we received an email (on Dec 20th) stating: " Your request will be forwarded to file for officer review. We will mail you a notice when we make a decision, schedule a interview, or need something from you."
Between Dec 11th and Jan 8th, I called USCIS twice every week to confirm that I have done everything correct and that we have not received any updates since the Dec 20th email (nothing in the mail whatsoever). All of the officers that I spoke with told me that there is nothing further for me to do, and to just wait on the local office (San Jose) to responded in the mail.
As of Jan 8th (the scheduled interview date), the I-485 status was updated to "Case Was Updated to Show That No One Appeared for In-Person Processing". I immediately called USCIS and got to speak with a tier 2 officer, who told me that there is nothing that they could do, that this will seriously affect the outcome of my case, and that they may close my case.
It is now Jan 11th and I still have nothing in the mail (over 4 weeks since I put in the request) and I'm really concerned that they will close my case.
Has anyone been through a similar experience? I do not have any lawyer and really not sure what to do, currently waiting to see what we get in the mail...
