Get a lawyer soon...
Quote:
Friend of a friend, She needs to get an immigration attorney, competent one as soon as possible. Why is it she never received her card after applying for a replacement one?  Also, since her husband is obviously a US citizen, why didn't she apply for naturalization based on 3 yr marriage to US citizen? In that way, USCIS is forced to adjudicate her greencard before finalizing her naturalization?  This would have force the immigration people to move and get her the card, so that she can be naturalized....  My advise: she can file for naturalization now, hire an immigration lawyer to fight possible deportation from USCIS...

After this...USCIS never re-scheduled her I751 interview... my friend & wife tried to find about that twice by taking infopass... both time Officer said..we will inform you. But at the last meeting..Dec 28.. they said you have to go back to your country and husband has to re-file as your case has been closed. both of them have lived for 4 yrs together...married for 5 yrs...and have 2 US Citizen kids...now what else USCIS is asking for proof.. guys your more help is appreciated..after this above info... pls comment...

Only 10% of I-751s actually generate an interview. This couple happened to fall into that 10%. To make things worse, the GC spouse was out of the country and thus could not attend the interview. I am guessing that USCIS never got (or never processed) the reschedule request. Thus USCIS forfeited the spouse's GC status. The need of the hour is a good attorney and an MTR.
Good luck!!!

My best guess is that the rescheduling request was never received or processed. When I hear of these situations, I try my best not to say "I told you." I have seen too many cases where rescheduling requests caused a lot of hassles and problems. While your friend may have had a very good reason to be in India at the time, I think many do not treat the interview seriously enough. I always advise people ---- if there is not a very serious reason for you to miss it, you had better fly back and make that interview. In any event, that is water under the bridge. There is MUCH they can do now with the help of a good attorney. A MTR as others have indicated here ---- do not stall.
