Guys, has anyone here fired their attorney? if so How did you do it?

Send  a certified letter to your attorney informing that his representation is being terminated.   Last year one member from VJ  missed his AOS interview because his attorney did not inform USCIS that the representation ended, the attorney received the AOS interview letter and did not contact his former client, the AOS was denied and the guy has to refile the AOS  again. Ask your lawyer proof that he informed USCIS ok.

 

Send a NOTARIZED  letter to USCIS informing that your attorney is not representing you anymore, and ask them to send all mails to your address.

You have to change your address, file form AR11. USCIS is messy and they rarely update the address. After changing the address wait 10 days and go to infopass to make sure they updated your address. Go to the USPS where are you living and ask them to forward all mails to your new address.

You should change your address, filing AR11 online, regarding you AOS, but you must send a letter to the VSC Vawa Unit informing your new address in your I-360 petition.

@sandranj are you saying that you can't change your address online ? I changed my address when I filed the i360 ..but for the pending i485 I changed the address online....did I do something wrong ?

@thegodfather007 when was your vawa approved? I recall you saying you got an rfe for good moral in January. 

I filed April 2016, Rfe for good moral Jan 2017, Rfe received Feb 2017, contacted congressman March 2017, Vawa approved April 2017.

Thanks Sandra,

 

Though the I-360 is approved and i have the approval receipts with me, do i still need to inform vermont (i-360) of changed address? I thought they'll only be working on my I-485 now?

Oh! Congratulations! I see it took them 9 months to start adjudicating your case.

Yes and that's kinda weird because I've seen other people file and be approved in that duration (9months) i assumed they take longer time on men's petition than women maybe because they think men are usually the abuser lol...  Though they automatically issued me a prima facie twice in the process.. I never used the prima facie for nothing btw, i applied for medicaid and was told i didn't qualify because i have no kids blah blah blah.... Just glad this is all coming to an end and i can start living my own life again...

 I think the current processing time is about 9/10 months. So many people filing for VAWA these days, it's almost as if the workload has tripled for these officers.

Thanks for the reply.

I think I am a similar situation now. I got the 1st REF for good motal character and bona fide marrige. After submitting the documentation following REF, I got the Prima Facie. 

However, I recently got noticed that USCIS sent 2nd REF. I had no idea what I'm supposed to. Even, I didnot get the notice documentation for a month so that I requested a copy last week. 

If you don't mind, could you share what was your issue for second REF for the good moral character? I'm also thinking that I might have an issue. 

If you feel it is hard to share in public, could you send me a message then? I will be really appreciated for it. 

By the way, I was really encouraged from your quote because I was desperate that I don't have any documentation more that I can send to USCIS. So, I was really embarrassed when I got notice for 2nd REF. 

Please share your 2nd REF about with quote or messgae.

Thanks again!

Are you the same situation? Did you get 2nd REF about good moral character? 

Ha.... Pleas read quote entirely. I am definitely aware that we all got abused from x-partner.

However, each of us has different situation and process. I just found that the one get similar situation on the process so that I'm asking her/him for sharing. 

I just want to kindly leave the quote to avoid any misunderstanding.

Thx.

You can change online the address regarding form  I-485, but to update the address in your VAWA petition you must submit a notarized letter.

Your  VAWA was approved but you still have to update your address.
