Whatever you do, don't ghost them! I've seen candidates do that and it never ends well. Communication is key here.
I'm a military spouse too and have dealt with this exact situation multiple times! The key is to reach out as soon as possible and be upfront about your situation. Most employers are incredibly understanding when it comes to military families - they know we have unique scheduling challenges that are completely out of our control. When you contact them, mention that you're a military spouse and briefly explain that an unexpected service commitment has come up. Offer 2-3 alternative dates/times that would work better for you, and emphasize how excited you are about the opportunity. I've never had an employer react negatively to this - if anything, they often appreciate the advance notice rather than a last-minute cancellation. You've got this! Military spouses are resilient and adaptable, which are qualities employers value. Good luck! 🙏
Quick question - did they give you a reason for the reschedule when they contacted you? That might give you a clue about what to expect.
Hey Miguel! I went through the exact same thing last year. When I called back, I was on hold for about 45 minutes but eventually got through to someone really helpful. They told me my interview was rescheduled because the officer had a family emergency. My advice: be patient with the wait time, have your receipt number ready, and don't be afraid to ask questions. The rescheduled interview actually went smoother than I expected. You've got this! 🙏

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!

I went through something similar last year! When I switched attorneys, my EAD card actually got sent to my home address (the one on file with USCIS) rather than either attorney. The key thing is that USCIS typically defaults to sending documents to the applicant's address unless there's an active G-28 on file. Since your old attorney's G-28 was withdrawn and your new one hasn't filed theirs yet, you should be good. But definitely have your new attorney file that G-28 ASAP to avoid any future confusion with other documents!
