  1. In New York City, it typically takes at least 12 months to schedule an interview, but in Brooklyn it could take up to 18 months. If you need to update your address, send a certified letter and also call USCIS to request the change. Ask to speak with a Tier 2 officer for assistance. While ICE can make arrests at USCIS offices, it’s uncommon. As long as you don’t have a criminal record or a final order of removal, you should be fine.
  2. I witnessed several individuals with pending asylum cases being detained, some before even entering the court for their master hearing, and others immediately after leaving, and they had "authorized stay."
  3. Keep a copy of your receipt. Your case is still pending, and there is no cause for concern.
  4. If it was the abuser who committed bigamy, the victim will not have any problems during the naturalization process.
  5. This means they sent you another copy of the I-485 denial notice. Your I-290B is still pending, and they have decided not to expedite your I-601.
  6. It's entirely up to you. Filing with or without an attorney won't change the outcome, but if you file without one, there's a chance you might make some mistakes when completing the form.
  7. They may ask about your VAWA case, but usually they do not ask for details of the abuse . If needed, you can respond with, 'I’m happy to answer general questions, but I’d prefer not to discuss personal details from my VAWA case unless absolutely necessary.'
  8. One of my clients, who is a green card holder, was sent to secondary inspection upon re-entry. They questioned him extensively about his VAWA case, particularly focusing on the dates of abuse he mentioned in his affidavit. Be prepared to answer detailed questions if you're in a similar situation. Carry a copy of your I-360 approval notice. If the officer asks about the abuse, you can say, " I’m glad to answer your questions, but some of this involves protected information related to my VAWA case. I’d prefer to speak with a supervisor regarding this matter," or just answer the questions; it's up to you.
  9. Since you've filed EOIR-42B with the court, the immigration court typically has jurisdiction over your case. However, once you have an approved I-360, the immigration court may allow you to adjust status with USCIS, but you have to request that your case be administratively closed so that USCIS can process your I-485.
  10. They weren't deporting individuals before, but with the new administration, nothing is certain anymore.
  11. Hi folks, last week, a client of mine, who is a green card holder, returned from an overseas trip. He was referred for secondary inspection, where the officer repeatedly asked about his VAWA case. He had to provide details about the case from the moment he first met his wife. Things are changing significantly when entering the country.
  12. Under the new administration, anything can happen. I advised my clients not to travel, but one of them just returned from a trip to Turkey and had no issues reentering.
  13. "I just posted a selfie, and people told me to get well soon". It was the best one yet, hahahaha
