Recently, the local USCIS immigration office in Jacksonville, FL has issued an update on rescheduling requests by applicants or their immigration attorneys on behalf of the applicants. This information was provided during a meeting of local immigration attorneys and USCIS supervisors from the Jacksonville, FL immigration office. The USCIS Supervisor has indicated that it takes about 30 to 60 days to get rescheduled for an N-400 (naturalization) interview, I-751 interview and an I-485 (adjustment of status or green card) interview.
The Immigration Supervisor will review the request for rescheduling to ensure that the reason provided is valid.
Swearing-in ceremonies can only be rescheduled twice or the N-400 will need to be re-filed again. From previous meetings, I recall that the Immigration Supervisor stated that for interview rescheduling requests, one time is allowed and any other rescheduling requests beyond that point will be scrutinized. In addition, for rescheduling requests beyond one time for green card interviews, naturalization, and I-751 interviews, much proof will be required before the request will be granted, if it is granted at all. If it is not granted, the case will be denied due to abandonment and the entire case will need to be re-filed.
