Seeing that NYSE and NASDAQ both will be closed on Tuesday, I seriously doubt that USCIS offices will open on the 2nd. I may be wrong though.

Did your interview cancellation call came after Ford's passing away?

Hi,

Yes, I got a call today at 1:30 pm.

Also, I just spoke with my lawyer, she said that there was a notice she read (dont know which website) that in honor of the former presidents death, USCIS offices will be closed and all appointments will be rescheduled and customers will be notified.

thanks.
