attny reccomendation needed 9c EWI VAWA.

[Jesus1982 0]

Hi Everyone,

My Sister got her appointment for I-485 adjustment of status next Tuesday sept 18, 2018. She is VAWA Approved. She is ver concerned about this appointment thinking she is going to be deported because she has an 9c bar from Juarez and she EWI again and file VAWA. I do have a lawyer but it appears she is nervous too. On top of that is going to be hard for her to attend to the interview because she has a speech in another state. She is offering to send an specialist in deportation, which I think it makes sense. I know her case is unique but please if anyone has advice or knows of someone who can help us will be appreciated. A while back when we file for VAWA someone told me here that she need it a waver, my lawyer has no idea, she tells me that they will ask for at interview. For sure her re-entry is tie to her husband abuse. Thanks everyone for you help. This is my e-mail [edited out] in case someone has information on a lawyer with experience with VAWA and 9C.

Thanks in Advance!!!!!!!!!!

It is more likely that she faces deportation if she doesn't attend the appointment, so I would advice her to go to HER appointment, not send someone else in her behalf.

If she will require a waiver there’s no other way of knowing until she attends the interview. Unfortunately in order to find out if she’s approved or if they need more information is only by attending the interview. If your lawyer isn’t sure about how to proceeed than maybe you need a new lawyer. If she doesn’t get approved at the interview, in my opinion her worst case scenario is they will not put in an approval and ask for a waiver to be filed from her home country. She will have to voluntarily go home and file waiver and come back after all that. They may issue deportation they may not. I really do think you should consult with a new lawyer. Your lawyer seems too confused.

A 9c bar normally requires 10 years outside the US before you can even apply for a wavier.........please keep us updated.

Just FYI- this was originally in the VAWA thread- no responses and they have a time constraint. They are looking for attny recommendations for VAWA waivers.

Hoping to get some names from VJ.  

 

(there are special waivers as an applicant for a green card under VAWA. Re- the 3/10yr bar theres an exception that you do not accrue unlawful presence at all if your presence in the U.S. can be connected to the abuse you were suffering. For reentering the U.S. unlawfully after being ordered removed or more than a year in the U.S.has a waiver if you can "demonstrate a connection between the abuse you suffered and your removal, departure, reentry, or activity that triggered this bar". Section 212(a)(9)(C)

--

I dont know much about waivers except that its best to use an attny. Also it seems the attny needs to be well versed in abuse/vawa to be able to know how to demonstrate a connection to USCISs satisfaction. His attny seems to have no clue and thats frightening.

 

Question- what are their odds of getting the interview changed successfully? The attny would have to request a new appt since they are the attny on record. Is it possible for him to get more time to find the proper attny?
