USCIS Status: “Interview Scheduled”
Your USCIS interview has been scheduled and you will receive an official notice with the date, time, and location.
What does this status mean?
The 'Interview Scheduled' status means that USCIS has set a date and time for your in-person interview at a local field office, and you will receive Form I-797C with all the details. You must bring the required documents, including your appointment notice, passport, and any requested evidence, to the interview. Prepare thoroughly to ensure a smooth process, as missing an interview without rescheduling may cause a denial.
