Plot twist: what if USCIS is actually run by sloths? 🦥 That would explain the speed of their processes!
Nah, sloths would be faster 💀
I went through a similar situation last year! The F2A to CR1 transfer took forever for me too. What helped was submitting a case inquiry online through the USCIS website after my case went beyond normal processing times. Also, make sure you have your naturalization certificate number handy when you call - that seemed to help the agents locate my case faster. Don't lose hope, it will eventually get processed! The automatic upgrade should happen once they review your file, but sometimes you need to give them a little nudge.
Pro tip: If you're nervous, try some deep breathing exercises before you go in. Helped me stay calm during my interview!
Hey Elliott! I totally get the nerves - rescheduling can be stressful. I went through something similar last year. The good news is that in most cases, the requirements stay the same, but definitely double-check your appointment notice for any updates. Here are a few things that helped me: 1) Review all your forms and documents again, 2) Practice common interview questions with a friend or family member, 3) Get a good night's sleep before the interview. The rescheduling could be due to officer availability, scheduling conflicts, or office capacity - it's usually nothing to worry about. You've got this! 💪
Quick question - did you file an AR-11 when you changed addresses? That could affect where they send your docs.
Oh, I didn't even think about that. I'll look into it, thanks!
Hey OP, I'm in the exact same boat. Changed attorneys mid-process and it's been a nightmare. Let me know if you figure out a solution!
Will do! Seems like a lot of us are dealing with this. Good luck with your case!
Protip: If you cant get through on the phone, try contacting your local congressperson's office. They often have liaisons who can help with USCIS issues.
This! 👆 My congressman's office saved my butt when I had a similar issue last year. Def worth a shot!

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out to your local congressperson's office? They often have liaisons who can help with USCIS issues. It's like having a secret backdoor to the system 🤫

I had a similar issue with my green card replacement last year. Here's what worked for me: I ended up sending a written request via certified mail to the National Benefits Center along with a copy of the return notice and proof of my address update. Include your receipt number and case number in the letter. It took about 3 weeks, but they eventually resent my card to the correct address. Also, make sure to keep calling - I found that calling right at 8 AM when they open gave me the best chance of getting through. Don't give up, you've got this!
