Is this normal? I'm positive they did fingerprints and stuff at the first interview. In fact, the officer was confident I would get approved, but then called after to apologize and say he was wrong and that I would be getting a denial.
Can they deny me again after this next interview?
Also, it's telling me to bring my conditional approval letter...but there is no letter for the appeal.
They can deny you after the second interview, or at any time they wish. But I would certainly think that the change in status means that the original problem that caused the denial has been mitigated, and you are on the path to approval (unless another issue comes up at the interview).
I would just bring the original conditional approval letter if that is all you have.
