What should I do if I receive an interview request from USCIS?

Receiving an interview request from USCIS during your EB-2 NIW process is no cause for alarm: with proper preparation, it is simply one more step. The starting point is to read the scheduling letter carefully, as it contains the date, time, location, and the list of documents you must bring.

Gather everything in advance and keep your paperwork current and well organized. Commonly requested items include:

• Passport and identification documents.
• Copies of your petition forms and payment receipts.
• Evidence supporting your national interest case.

Familiarize yourself with the contents of your own petition, since the officer may ask about specific case details. Practice answering naturally, always based on truthful and verifiable information: clarity and honesty are essential.

Confirm the address and arrive early to avoid delays. If you have any doubts about documents or procedure, seek expert guidance and follow only what comes through official USCIS communications, without being swayed by promises of guaranteed outcomes.
