Yes, the 1st attempt was thrown out for lack of jurisdiction. I put incorrect dates on the initial filing. Now, we back at it again. We met late last year. The follow-up hearing is 1/22/24.
She did not retain counsel. My counsel will show up when we have a trail, but not for hearing. They're very expensive for status hearing.
The I-134 or I-864 has not come up. That will come during the trail. Coincidentally, I realized I never filled out an I-130. Not sure if that matters much now, but lawyer will accompany me when we go to trial.
She blew off mediation, because she belives the judge will award her more. She's been living on her own for over a year somewhere in DC.
