MOHAN Please assist - repeat topic but with urgent request

I am told that the cases in Vermont are solved faster than in other states.
My wife will be joining me in Vermont soon and we are thinking of moving our case here.

She has not been finger printed though we have made the application for AOS.
My questions are:

Is it wise to move the case. (It would prove economical on us)

In the event that the interview date is too abrupt and we cannot secure a flight on time, will the INS office accept a letter to ask for a reschedule to a more approrpiate date.

Are there penalties for missing an interview?

you have to apply for change of vanue. The case should be in the local area of juridiction.

Thanks for the reply.

But does this by any chance affect the chances of my case being dropped.

Does it raise any bells that the INS would be uncomfortable with.

Thanks again.

Answer is No. The problem with not changing the case is a drawback not receiving mail in time and the area is out of jurisdection.
Read the instructions for not appearing for the interview at INS.Gov site. that explains.
