My abuser filled I 130 for me back in October 2016. I have since left him and I filed for Vawa in April 2018. I have tried to cancel the I 130 but since I am not the petitioner, I cannot. Only he can do it, I checked online and I see that it’s still pending. Is it going to affect my Aos once my Vawa is approved? I didn’t file for AOS yet because I have a witholding of removal so I have to wait till my Vawa is approved before filling the AOS

Yes I am feeling better now, thanks. You don't need to worry about the delay but of course you can reach to your congressperson to inquire on your behalf.Your case probably is with the local office already and some local offices are taking 6/16 months to set up an interview to adjust status.

Good morning sandranj glad you are feeling better, and thank you for your advice and sorry for asking it is just that there was no update or notification that my case has been transferred, i hope that soon i will have good news and i will be able to get my approval on my GC. Thank you once again for all your hlp and support and also can i PM you in regards of you fees as a lawyer and the possibility of asking you to represent me, if you are able to take more clients ?

New York State Bar Opinion 761 suggests the Simple Solution, where a lawyer can structure the relationship in such a way that the wife is considered the sole client from the outset on an I-130 petition.  The citizen or permanent resident spouse sponsors an alien spouse by filing Form I-130 with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Although the petitioning spouse signs off on the I-30 petition, this opinion allows the alien spouse to be treated as the sole client so long as the lawyer explains to both the husband and the wife that the wife is the sole client and the his loyalties are to the wife alone. In the event that the wife then shares confidential information about abuse by the petitioning spouse, and wishes to proceed in filing a battered spouse self-petition (Form I-360), the lawyer would be under no obligation to reveal this information to the husband. 

The opinion also explores the possibility of the attorney taking on joint representation similar to the Golden Mean, but the attorney sought consent from the husband to future conflicts, and it would then be possible to represent only the wife in filing the I-360 battered spouse petition. While this opinion, based on the facts presented, acknowledges that it was not possible to terminate the representation of the abusive husband unless he understood that the future conflict would include an allegation of abuse to support the wife’s self-petition, the following extract, which supports advance waivers among non-experienced users of legal services, is worth noting:

 

A client’s consent to future conflicts is “subject to special scrutiny” (citation omitted). The clients’ advance consent must be to a conflict that is consentable and the consent must be informed. The future conflict must be described “with sufficient clarity so the client’s consent can reasonably be viewed as having been fully informed when given” (citation omitted).

 

In a dispute, where the wife accuses the husband of domestic violence, the husband cannot ask for the “entire file” concerning the wife’s immigration status. According to this opinion, since the attorney is bound by a duty of loyalty toward both clients, absent any prior agreement designating only one spouse as the client, one co-client cannot use the lawyer against the other co-client in the event of a dispute.

 

 

this article says the attorney can represent me they could be wrong 

 

 

 

Yes to this. The attorney that filed my initial I-130 and I-485 also represented my for the I-360. No RFE, no interview, no questions asked why the same lawyer represents me. This was in NYC.

My attorney also only represent me, She only did for me I-485 because I filled out my self the I-130 and got approved. She made it very clear she was only representing me since My I-130 was already approved... and she also represent me for my I-360...

Yes I think if there was no representation of the petitioner there shouldn't be a conflict. And I found it very convenient. I only had to collect proof of abuse etc, since she already had all proof of bonafide marriage
