N400 interview rescheduling - any experiences?

[anxiouscdn2]

My husband filed N400 last November (Atlanta District Office) and Atlanta interview scheduling appeared to slow down considerably while his application was in process. His interview was eventually scheduled for late April of this year, but by the time the notice arrived he'd been obliged to commit to a trip to Canada re family obligations, and the interview date turned out to be in the middle of his trip. The trip was simply not one that could be rescheduled, so he was reluctantly obliged to request the interview be rescheduled, instead.

So now we're in uncharted waters re trying to predict when his new interview date might be. In the meantime, we're avoiding all travel plans of any kind, because a second rescheduling would surely look bad to USCIS, and it would be too stressful.

Does anyone out there have any experience with requesting a rescheduled interview? Any guidance on how long our family will be stuck in this limbo would be most welcome.

It depends on the business practices in that particular office. Some just stick the request back into a computer controlled scheduling queue to drop back in whenever. Other offices hold these files aside to fill in holes in the more current schedule as they arise. The hole that your husband's cancelled appointment created might be filled in either of these ways. In the same system, his new appointment might get scheduled in the same way.

Thanks, BigJoe5. Happily, the new interview notice arrived in yesterday's mail! The new date is in mid June, less than 60 days after the original April date. We were quite apprehensive that the rescheduling would cause a delay of many months, but that's not what happened. Husband is really looking forward to completing the process at last!
