Case Processing
INTERVIEW I-485
Hi everyone,
I have a question for those who have been through this.
Has anyone here ever received an I-485 interview notice while their I-360 still showed as pending (or before they ever received an I-360 approval notice)?
I recently received an interview notice for my I-485, but as far as I know, my I-360 is still pending. I’m trying to understand if this happened to anyone else and what the outcome was.
Also, if you’ve already attended your VAWA-based I-485 interview:
* What questions did the officer ask?
* Did they ask about the abuse or was it mostly about the I-485?
* Did they tell you at the interview whether your I-360 had been approved?
* How long was the interview?
* How long after the interview did you receive a decision?

Changing Lawyer Before International Travel
My case has been pending since Feb 2022 with no RFE or major update. I recently contacted my Congressman as well, but received the same general USCIS update.
My current lawyer is not responding promptly, so I’m considering changing attorneys. However, I’m planning to travel internationally in 1–2 months for about 45 days.
Is it safe to change lawyers before traveling? Once the new attorney files the required paperwork, will USCIS/CBP records show the new attorney during re-entry, or could my old attorney still appear?
Has anyone changed lawyers shortly before traveling while their case was pending?
Thanks In Advance!!!

WOM for second time
We just sent the summons issued by the court today, and we are hopeful to get some results. This is the second time I have filed a Writ of Mandamus. Previously, my lawyer dropped the case after I received the interview, but I asked for a refund since no decision was obtained. I have now hired a new lawyer and filed the case again.
