Post: I-797C, Notice of Action - Case Type: Form I-485

Posted by Greg on 11/07/10
Important Question - Is the I-797C, Notice of Action -
Request for Applicant to Appear for Initial Interview a
Mandatory Interview, or is it an Optional Interview?
My immigrant / ex-wife and I never received any notice for
an I-485 Adjustment Application for Permanent Residence
interview. There was no Interview…
Case Type: Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent
Residence or Adjust Status
--------------------
Example:
Immigrant / ex-wife came to the United States on a K1 Visa.
May 28, 2006 - Immigrant / ex-wife arrived to the United
States.
June 9, 2006 - We were married in Honolulu.
August 28, 2006 - Immigrant / ex-wife sent in her I-485
Application for Permanent Residence paperwork and the
return notice date is September 1, 2006.
From February 25 to April 26, 2007 - Immigrant / ex-wife
was in Thailand visiting her family.
This trip was planned since August 28, 2006 when
immigrant / ex-wife filled out the I-131 Application for
Travel Document and she wrote February 1, 2007 as the date
of her intended departure, and her expected length of trip
was 30 days.
Early April 2007 - While immigrant / ex-wife was still in
Thailand, her Permanent Resident Card came in the mail,
with May 9, 2009 as the expiration date.
April 26, 2007 - Immigrant / ex-wife arrived back to Hawaii
and her Green Card is waiting for her.
Question - Is the I-797C, Notice of Action - Request for
Applicant to Appear for Initial Interview a Mandatory
Interview, or is it an Optional Interview?
