I would not have rescheduled!
This is odd! You paid your lawyer to assist at all stages, then you reschedule the most significant stage because your lawyer will be out of town? Oh I am sure the lawyer made a self aggrandizing speech about how beneficial his 'sitting in' the interview will be, BUT IT'S A LIE.
I would go on to the interview WITHOUT him or her. Collect all the evidence he has, add some more and go. Just note an interview officer will NEVER be asking a lawyer to answer any question on your behalf. It doesn't matter if your case is complicated or not. In fact having a lawyer in the meeting only makes the IO scrutinize more intensely as they anticipate that the lawyer wants to oppose.
Ask yourself this, why can't the lawyer send a LAW partner?
Why can't he reschedule his own 'out of town's plan?
Will the lawyer hand out an I485 approval notice to you? He CAN'T.
A lawyer's presence is NOT required, check USCIS website. If the interview is delayed, reached your immigration status will be the one on the table not his or hers. More complicated immigration laws will be available later when you reschedule.
An estimated 90percent of immihelp cases are DIY do it yourself and most have been highly successful.
Do the interview yourself.
All the best.
