Hello everyone! Since April 2023, everyone should have heard about the appointment of immigrant visa interview times at the U.S. Consulate, which has also caused a large number of U.S. immigration postponement interviews to be widely complained. Many U.S. green card applicants are racing against time to schedule a U.S. immigration interview, and it has become almost routine not to do it casually. However, what is shocking is that someone received a notice of termination of the case in the process of brushing up on the US immigration interview time! What exactly is a mysterious operation? Let's unravel this puzzling mystery together!
Brush up on U.S. immigration time every day, but the case is terminated?!
Over the past year, the U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou has been busy processing nonimmigrant and other normal immigration interview applications, and has not released new interview times for immigrant applicants who need to reschedule their interviews. In order to be able to make an appointment for the U.S. immigration interview as soon as possible, many U.S. green card applicants are swiping the system's appointment time almost every day, even against the time difference. However, what is surprising is that someone received a notice of termination of the case in the process of brushing up on the US immigration interview time, which is really puzzling.
The interview appointment system is separated from the consulate system
The reason behind revealing this "divine operation" is actually mainly because the U.S. immigration interview appointment system and the consulate's internal contact system are not the same system! This means that even if you swipe the U.S. immigration interview time every day, there is no guarantee that your U.S. immigration case will be effectively updated in the consular system!
The truth of the case termination is revealed: contact with the consulate department is the key!
Within the U.S. consular system, it is critical to maintain contact with the consulate's Immigrant Visa Unit. Even if you make an appointment through the U.S. interview booking system, you may still face the risk of having your case terminated if you do not contact the U.S. Consulate to inform you that you need to hold the case.
There was a customer who reported that he "swiped" the desired time on the U.S. interview appointment system, but canceled it for some personal reasons, but because the system was separated from the U.S. consulate system, the consulate terminated his immigration application a few months after he canceled the interview, which he did not expect. This reinforces the need to be more proactive in maintaining communication with the U.S. Consulate and Immigration Department to ensure the effectiveness of the case.
How to deal with special circumstances?
In addition to taking the initiative to contact the U.S. Consulate, if we face some special and urgent circumstances, we can also directly contact the U.S. Consulate to apply for a new interview time to ensure that the case is not affected, and also to ensure that the interview time has not been brushed up and the trip to the United States has been delayed. However, generally only for some humanitarian aspects, as well as economic losses and other more urgent situations, simply want to reunite with relatives quickly, go to the United States to study, business activities and other consulates generally will not agree to the arrangement.
Through the above case sharing, I hope you can understand that the relationship between the U.S. interview appointment system and the U.S. Consulate and Immigration Department system is "non-interfering". In the process of applying for a U.S. green card, it is not only necessary to pay attention to the skill of brushing the time for the U.S. immigration interview, but also to take the initiative to maintain contact with the U.S. consulate to ensure the smooth progress of the case.
