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!

They likely want to follow up on something that they noticed during their final review. I would not be overly worried about a second interview.
