Can the USCIS call me in for an interview if they have questions about my case?

Yes. While most EB-2 NIW cases are decided based solely on the submitted documents, the USCIS retains the authority to summon an applicant for an interview whenever it deems necessary.

This request typically has a practical purpose: to clarify an unresolved point, request additional information, or confirm the accuracy of what was submitted. It is not, in itself, a sign that the petition will be denied; it is simply part of the review process.

For this reason, the best approach is to keep the process under close monitoring and respond to any USCIS request with clarity and within the deadline. Well-organized and consistent documentation reduces the likelihood of questions that could lead to an interview.

Since each case is evaluated individually, it is worth following the official guidance from the source (USCIS) and, whenever possible, working with a qualified specialist to prepare. Be cautious of anyone who promises guaranteed approval.
