Dear Community,

I just got a call from my lawyers assistant and she asked to keep it confidential.
She told me that she recommends me to fire a lawyer because she is not acting in clients best interest.
So, the question is should I fire her right now? Or not?
The thing is my I360 is submitted, and I think application is good overall.
Just some mistakes by lawyer with like names of people, etc, references to wrong attachments, etc,etc.
My lawyer is just not submitting for example my divorce decree because she has a different strategy she says, so I am going to submit it by my own.
She is trying to get RFEs so she charges me more you know...and I clearly see it and ask right question she does not like.
Be careful with lawyers.

If you don't trust your attorney fire her. USCIS is not obligated to send RFE ANYMORE,and if she is acting  in a dishonest or immoral way she can have your case denied.

So, dear valued contributors to VAWA topic, please help me with the below question:

My lawyer made some mistakes in her statement and in I360 application which idk if I should correct or not by my letter to USCIS (I am anyway sending them a letter with additional documents like police clearances and divorce decree).
So, the mistakes she made in her statement are mostly wrong names like in one place wrong middle name of my abusive USC, some other grammar mistakes, wrong last name of a person who wrote a statement to support my case, wrong city of abuser USC job,  wrong references to attachments (like see attachment 3, but the right one is 5 for example),

Mistakes in I360 application: 
- Marital status Divorced (on the date of filling out of application and signature date I was not yet divorced, is it okay?)
- (part 4B) Address is incorrect and not fully completed
- (part 10) USC Abuser Last name is mine (she never took my last name, so her last name was *****)
- and again couple wrong references to attachments;

So, please give me an advise if I should correct any of the above mistakes by my letter to them or leave it like this and see if the RFE.
When the officer will read through whole papaer work and my statement it is all clear. So they can see who is who but the I360 application starts with 3 pages from my lawyer about like who she is that she represents me etc etc and her statment about what I told her and this is where she has mistakes I discribed above. All other statements like my own and therapist are clear and correct.
Thank you and have a good day people!
Happy Friday!

I just saw now your second post .FIRE YOUR ATTORNEY, and let her know through registered letter why you decided to fire her, write one by one of her mistakes, and I would ask some money back.

 

Yes, correct her mistakes and  submit to USCIS a copy of your letter firing your attorney and a copy of the post office receipt as well. Two people from VJ got their money back after they had their VAWA cases denied because of mistakes made by the attorneys.I wrote a nasty letter to them, I didn't sign they signed, and one of the attorney  emailed him saying  "clearly the letter was written by an attorney'', but he gave the $6.000 back to the guy. Of course your case is not a case to get the whole money back but yes she should return some money considering that you need to hire a new attorney.Make your case man.

Good morning everyone,

I'm a male VAWA filer and I received a RFE for abuse. The letter is asking additional evidences such as Psychological evaluation, shelter, police report or my own statement. When I was filling in March 2018, my lawyer didn't advise me to do psychological evaluation and I didn't know either that I should have done it. I don't know if an evaluation will be relevant today as the abuse happened end of 2017 almost 2 and half years and I significantly improved comparing to 2017. 

So can I just re-write my statement and explain that I didn't know or advised to  to do the evaluation or should I just attempt to do an evaluation based on my current state. I'm afraid that the evaluation will not be that convincing as it's has been a while since the abuse occurred.

My lawyer is telling me to go get an evaluation but I just don't want to waste my time and money if it won't weight much.

I really need your help Assap.

Thank you

I recommend you to to find a Psychologist with experience on domestic violence their are many with knowledge on Vawa, I think you should make all the effort you can to get your case approve and provide Own statement and psychological evaluation, abuse does not disappear just like that no matter the years.

Do you have police report? Friends and family can write too..if you have police report you should be fine..your lawyer like many others don't know much about VAWA! That evaluation is great to proof abuse! I'm not sure if you can run through sessions now..but give it a go..you just never know!💁

[ibrahimfiz 4]

Thank you so much. I think my lawyer didn't know much about VAWA. I will try my best to get a report. And yes I submitted a police report, two affidavits, shelter letter, proof of marriage but I don't know why they still asking for writer letter I will just have to submitted again.

Ok then it's not looking so bad! The police report is good..but see if you can get a letter from a counselor or psychological evaluation from the past abuse you suffered..just make the effort and see what they can aid you with..you'll be fine ok?😊👍 write your own abuse story too..make it detailed!

Even with Police report and shelter letter, they are asking for evaluation. Did you verify you lawyer submitted all this documents. 

[ibrahimfiz 4]

I think my lawyer is not well organized I'm not even sure he submitted all the materials because I asked him a copy of the police and shelter letter but he couldn't find it. I think he doesn't know what he is doing and I was very naive to hire him. But I will submit the shelter letter again and try to get the evaluation done. It is my biggest challenge now.
