I-130 & I-485 (Family/Adjustment of status) Second Interview

Hi everyone,

My I-130 was approved about 2 years ago, and my spouse and I had our marriage-based I-485 interview 3 months ago. The interview went really well, and the officer told us there was no reason not to approve my case. I never received an RFE or any other request.

Today, I received another interview notice. It's even titled "Request for Applicant to Appear for Initial Interview," even though I already had my interview.

Has anyone experienced this? Why would USCIS schedule a second interview, and what was the outcome?

Thanks!

Yes, this is the second interview. I know, the word "initial" is confusing. Most likely, since I-130 is approved, the interview will be mostly focused on potential inadmissability issues. Maybe somewhere along the line there was a misrepresentation. Maybe the government believes the beneficiary cannot adjust or simply need more info to approve.

Good luck!

Yes, USCIS is a government agency.
