WOW! That's really sad! This is why I insist that most of them are just about the money! ...well I don't care if they're only concerned about the money..but Christ!!! They should do their job! Your attorney obviously isn't committed! Doesn't care what you submit..the response confirms that! You should speak up! Put your foot down! Don't let them just take your money..the person who pays the piper, dictates the tune!!! 

That’s 100% true. 

I was just researching about lawyers whom I’d want to attend the interview with me and I’m shocked at how dumb they sound. Most don’t have a clue about VAWA at all but are quick to mention money.

One attny asked me to visit him for an initial consultation only if I have decided to hire him and that I should carry my checkbook . I mean what are initial consultations for? Is t it for deciding whether or not to go with a particular lawyer? SMH 🤦‍♀️

@HopeHope__ I honestly feel like firing my attorney. He hasn’t done a thing to help me since I retained him a month ago. I gave him my affidavit to review two weeks ago and not a feedback upto now. Last he told me was it’s my story, that he can’t tell me to modify my story. I honestly feel like I’m doing this on my own after putting myself in debt to pay him.

I  feel your pain. I fired mine and worked with Sandra to get approved.

LOL!😁😁 believe me you'll be better off by yourself! Just be confident! Go through your i485 form..affidavit..anything you submitted..you should be equipped to handle your interview like a boss! 😎 these attorneys are clowns! Very few specialize in VAWA! Others just quickly do a shallow research on VAWA and give you quotations in their capacity as lawyers! SMH!😏😏👎

USCIS Aims to Decrease Processing Times for N-400 and I-485

USCIS will implement a national strategy to decrease differences in processing times based on location for Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.

Since the end of 2015, we have experienced an increase in processing times due to higher than expected volumes received during fiscal years (FY) 2016 and 2017 that did not decrease as originally projected. FY 2017 receipts were up 15.6% from FY 2016, and FY 2016 receipts were up 25.5% from FY 2015. The increased filing volumes did not affect our field offices equally, which resulted in some disparity in the processing times among field offices.

As we shift caseloads between field offices to decrease processing times, we may schedule applicants to appear for an interview at a field office outside of their normal jurisdiction. Applicants may receive an interview appointment notice or other types of notices (such as a Request for Evidence) from a field office outside of their normal jurisdiction. However, these caseload changes will not affect where applicants attend their biometrics appointments. We will still direct them to the nearest application support center. Applicants should follow the instructions on any notices they receive from USCIS.

USCIS remains committed to adjudicating applications, petitions, and requests for immigration benefits as effectively and efficiently as possible in accordance with all applicable laws, policies, and regulations while securing the integrity of the immigration system.

If you have questions about an appointment notice we send you, you may contact the USCIS Contact Center.
