“Initial Interviews” - the new USCIS trend
Several people in pending-AOS (Adjustment of Status - I-485) status are now getting called for what USCIS terms “initial interviews”. You could get called for such interviews even if your priority date is far from current. It appears that many of the ones that were called have switched jobs after 180 days of the filing of their I-485 application. It is likely that the questions will be around intent to work for original employer or whether the new job is same or similar.
We will keep the readers of this site informed as more information becomes available on this issue.
After the recent USCIS trends of L1 RFE’s, H1 extension rejections, Etc., this might be their next trend. More drama…USCIS has a way of keeping us young ![]()
