    tato2017 got a reaction from Zmong in J1 waiver after filing i485   
    honestly i don`t know what would happen. i believe they need waiver approval before they can adjudicate your case completely.  You can request postponement of the interview, procedure should be on the interview letter. You can certainly could go to interview and explain your case and see how it goes but maybe it is better you consult a lawyer that has more experience with waiver cases.

    tato2017 got a reaction from Zmong in J1 waiver after filing i485   
    I am not really sure. Usually it is the other way around. Most of the time waiver cases goes much faster than AOS so you know you have to file a waiver regardless so i would file it.

    I wouldn't bring that up at the appointment. Wait for them to give you a decision.

    tato2017 reacted to GabiMatch in AOS interview results in pending for more investigation -- need help   
    I think that there is nothing that they can do but wait for a decision, if they get refused she can still appeal the decision and for that she’ll have to lawyer up, but they can NOT sue USCIS for a mistake that her husband committed when he didn’t withdrew his prior petition, as immigrating to America is not a “right”, but a “privilege”. The problem here is not your friend, I think that the agent might be thinking that her husband do not have good intention since it’s his second (as far as we know) relationship/petition with a foreigner.
    Maybe could be a good idea to ask for help from the congressman in her area, he could ask USCIS to justify the fact that there is no decision yet.
    If your friend do not get the expected result, tell her to find a good immigration lawyer and appeal the decision.
    Best of luck to your friend.
