Your attorney needs to fired asap. Truly though your entire timeline is very questionable so they may have been preparing to deny you always which is why you got a fast interview date but again more case to fire you attorney.

I suggest reading up on why your timeline is wrong, possible fraud etc...Then get a comptent lawyer and leaving the country. You really do not want to bring attention by making an appeal.

Thank you for your reply,

Can you please brief me what made you say my timeline is wrong or fraud.

Even better question is did your attorney ever return from his "vacation"/"Business Trip", if not this will be the second case of an immigration lawyer stealing money from someone and said attorney should be reported to the america Bar association.

Yup! He is back in city.
And i got an appointment with my USCIS officer where in i'll be submitting the proof of emails regarding rescheduling my interview date, but i am just not sure how quick my issue will be resolved.

If my case is not reopened with in 33 days then what would you suggest me to go with??

1) Filing I-290B (8-12 months process time)
2) NVC Process (Staying in home country for 5-6 Months)

and also if i do I-290B filing then how can i stay in US?

Appreciate your help..

Did you read any of the emails your attorney sent and received?

Well No, My attorney says he cannot show me the conversations as it is against the law unless it is mentioned to do so.

Now i got an appointment with my USCIS officer, where in i'll be submitting the proof of emails along with my attorney.
But not sure how quick they will resolve my issue.

That is absolute garbage! there is no such law in any state saying that your attorney can't discuss conversations between him and the immigration officers regarding YOUR case. can he discuss information about other clients cases with you? no but he can definitely discuss your case with you. this just screams fraud on the attorney's part, and even if not fraud he's definitely withholding information from you for some reason which is wrong. sounds like the attorney is either trying to Cover his rear end for something he did wrong, or you're not giving us the entire story and everything going on is fraudulent. at least in my opinion

Uhh...

That does not sound true. Your attorney is your legal representative. Even if documents from USCIS go to your attorney rather than to you, they are still your documents and you should have access with them. As far as emails go, your attorney should be able to send you the details of any communication he is making on your behalf. What does "against the law unless it is mentioned to do so" mean?

Basically, your attorney is acting on your behalf. So anything that he says to USCIS should be available on request. I get that maybe he can't produce a phone transcript or something, but he should be able to forward you any relevant mail or email.

How did you get proof of the rescheduled appointment?

Without knowing more details, it kinda seems like your attorney is telling you that because he doesn't want to show you that he did something wrong or failed to do something he said he would.

Anyway, the emails should be retained as part of your file, as with all communication.

Even i said the same thing to my husband long time back, but till date my attorney didn't showed me any conversations he ever had on my behalf but he did discussed with me over the phone. And i always trusted and believed him.
But now He is ready to forward me the email as he again cannot make it for the appointment because of his busy schedule and said he will mention in the email that because i have to present the proof to an officer he is forwarding me the email and it cannot be misused in any way. (Of course i'll not misuse)

So i don't think the attorney have done any kind of fraud behind me or making me fool.

He is just telling me that getting I-290B filed doesn't guarantee your GC, because it can be denied too later or may be accepted, totally depends on the officer.

I am soooo worried and confused.
NVC process also scares me because the policies/terms/rules of immigration can change anytime as per current scenarios, just don't want to get stuck in home country for years.

Can you please tell me about the possibilities of I-290B getting denied.

What would you do in my situation??

Take a chance for I-290B or go with NVC process??

Appreciate your help!!

"My attorney received an Email back from the officer that my interview date will be rescheduled and mailed in post."

He is just telling me that getting I-290B filed doesn't guarantee your GC, because it can be denied too later or may be accepted, totally depends on the officer and is a long process (8-12 months)

I am soooo worried and confused.
NVC process also scares me because the policies/terms/rules of immigration can change anytime as per current scenarios, just don't want to get stuck in home country for years.

This lawyer sure is something. Miracle man. I will post probably one last time, why you could be having a very difficult and tough meeting coming with the IO.

When did you apply for F-1 visa, your post shows the future data confusing? Did your lawyer explain it could take 6months to a 1year going from B2 to F1? Did your lawyer explain doing AOS (filing i-485) before decision on F-1 very likely makes the F-1 potentially be rejected? Did you lawyer explaining leaving the country on B2 would make your F1 application much easier, since both B2 and F1 are non-immigrant visas?

I doubt you actually got interviewed by any CBP when you came back the 2nd time, and said my plan is to immigrate to the USA on this B2 visa. I am assuming **** * man gave you a letter, and booked a return flight (great lawyer he is). I assume he wrote another letter when you asked to re-new your visa and do an F-1 application. Just wondering. here...

That all said, I would still have all documents to be prepared for legitimate interview. If it is all a mistake indeed.

It is immigration fraud if you enter the USA on "tourist visa" with intent at the time to apply for a green card. If you say that to the IO you are looking way more serious conquesences than simply out the money of the AOS. Same thing if you extended your B2 solely on that reason. For sure these are things the IO will want to talk to about.

You keep saying, you do not want to leave the country that is not how the rules work. Your lawyer has been following their clients needs by "not leaving the USA" but has little integrity in not giving easy advice and hard truth and now making you do the exact process he should have suggested to start with the NVC. Also he has gathered more and more fees a long the way I bet. The fact he will not share all his communication is extremely troubling cause who knows what he has done to get all these visa applications/approvals and moved to the current state.

Just something, to consider...Take it what you want. This not legal advice/opinon. Maybe talk to even another lawyer, one who can show up to meetings.

Fu** that! It's clear your lawyer doesn't think your case is important so go solicit a competent attorney ASAP! He's treating your case just like a business transaction. Find someone who's got your best interest.

OP you'll never get your answers here because truly only you know what's going on with your case and we only get you're side. No one thinks you are lying but without having all the actual facts its difficult for us. So again go solicit the opinion of other reputable attorney's. Take all your paperwork with you.

I would of went to the interview without the lawyer. Like you said, if it wasn?t fraudulent I wouldn?t had nothing to be scared about.

Have you contacted other lawyers and give them an round up of what is going on with your case?
