Hi community,

Thank you for always being able to help and give a good piece of advise.
I am seeking information on the below.

So, I have pending I485 based on marriage and pending I360 (NOA1 24APR19, Fingerprint Review Completer 24MAY19).
I currently have EAD+AP which are going to be expired on 29NOV19 and I applied for an extension of both in July, so waiting (applied by my own, with no help from my lawyer because she was asking for more money)...

I have a lawyer ONLY on my I360 petition, all the steps before I took without a lawyer and she is not a lawyer on my I485 unless USCIS link it automatically.
Me and my lawyer sent in I360 before divorce was finalized, so divorce decree was not included in the application.
I want to send it in now and curious if I can do so by my own or only my lawyer can do so if I have her on file for I360? Will USCIS accept communication from me or only from her?  (also I want to request my lawyer for a copy of I360 application she sent in because only she knows what she included from everything I provided to her and to check if I need to include anything else except of Divorce Decree).

Another question is about my I485 pending application:
So, in July my case status changed to "Ready to be scheduled for an interview" but I just moved in June and I did submit address change as required, but never got a confirmation of address change, so as soon as I saw new I485 status I enquired help from Congressman Local Office (as VJ members advised, thank you for that) and got feedback that USCIS has my new address, it is updated and interview will be scheduled at my new local office, but wait time in this area is longer, so it will take at least 6 more months to schedule it. 
Now the question is: Should I submit a request to hold in abeyance until my I360 is adjudicated or not? Again...can I request that or I am not authorised to do such requests and only my lawyer can do so? 

Please assist as you have more experience and knowledge!
Thank you and love to you all!

Anything to do with your I-360, Let your lawyer handle it. If you send something without G-28 form (if needed), USCIS will assume you no longer have legal representation. (see this convo a few pages ago)

Besides, you have a lawyer who you probably paid good money to, let them do their job. 

Ask the office nicely for a copy of your file for your records. they should not have a problem.

Also, I do find it alarming that you do not trust your lawyer to send in all the info you provided. Always insist on a sit down meeting with them and go over everything. When I submitted my RFE response and initial packet, I sat down with the Lawyer and went over all the documents, he told me what was useable and what was overkill (i had way too many pics). 

 

Definitely write to USCIS to hold your I-485 via your lawyer, Mine did it right after filing for I360 and receiving the receipt. you still might be called in for an interview as USCIS is a bit choppy with updating requests of address and holding cases etc. I have read about various scenarios here. 

 

clear your relationship with your lawyer, they should be on your team end of the day and you should be able to trust them. If not, look for another one but in the meantime, play nice and get your stuff done the right way. 

 

Cheers!

As I mentioned in my post, I moved states and my lawyer is in a different state, so I can not sit with her or meet her, everything is by phone calls and she already knows that I see that she is trying to make intentional mistakes to charge me more in the future... I already caught here twice and she admitted that I do know and I do research. She was hoping to get more money from me I feel like...

Oh... so you moved quite far away then. 

Well change your lawyer as soon as you can. 

 

Do look into the answers to your questions I tried to answer, they still hold I believe. 

Good luck, you got this!

Why do I need to have a lawyer locally? Any pros and cons?
Also, I paid my lawyer in full....

let the attorney apply for waiver for the new I485, Ask him if he is ok sending in the $ for EAD if you want to be extra safe and avoid delays. 

 

BTW, How is your EAD still valid? I thought if the underlying I-485 was denied it cancels the linked C9 EAD as well. Private message @sandranj with more details of your case, she can advise you, she is an attorney and an angel really!! 

 

I do not know. I am working in a local store and they are fine with that.  Now, you have told me. So, I am getting more nervous. What should I do? Is there any way I can check the status of my WP?

Hello friends again.
I probably should quit this thing
I just cry and cry
The psychologist canceled the meeting, she got sick ... We are all people and I understand that we have the right to get sick ...
Visit rescheduled for 2 weeks
I also clarified whether they could give me a psychological description.
They said no. That this information is confidential and they do not have the right to give me something ....

They can specify that they are helping you to undergo the trauma,

They answered that they can give information that I attended a certain number of classes and that's it. They cannot give any assessment
