USCIS Status: “Interview Was Rescheduled”
Your USCIS interview has been rescheduled, and you should confirm the new date and time through your online account
What does this status mean?
The 'Interview Was Rescheduled' status is triggered when USCIS reschedules your interview due to various reasons such as staff availability or applicant unavailability, and it means that your case requires an in-person interview at a local USCIS field office, which will be conducted at the newly scheduled date and time
What should you do next?
- 1Log into your my.uscis.gov account to confirm the new date and time of your interview
- 2Review the appointment notice, Form I-797C, for the new date, time, and location, and prepare to bring required documents such as your passport and any requested evidence
- 3If you need to reschedule again, request to reschedule through your USCIS online account at least 12 hours before the new scheduled appointment time, or call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 if it's less than 12 hours before the appointment
Typical timeline
The rescheduled interview will typically take place within 1-3 months after the initial interview was scheduled, but the exact timeline may vary depending on the service center and form type, such as 2-5 months at the Nebraska Service Center or 3-6 months at the Texas Service Center for I-485 applications
