USCIS Document Delivery Confusion After Changing Attorneys - Where Will My Approved Work Permit Be Sent?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my immigration case. I recently switched attorneys and I'm worried about where my documents will be sent. My work permit was just approved, but I'm not sure if they'll send it to me, my new attorney, or my old attorney. The USCIS website shows a G-28 withdrawal for my old attorney, but my new one doesn't have access to my case yet. Has anyone dealt with this before? How can I make sure my documents don't end up with the wrong person?

Congrats on the work permit approval! 🎉 That's a big step. As for your document situation, I'd suggest calling USCIS directly to confirm where they're sending everything. Better safe than sorry, right?

•Thanks! Yeah, I've been trying to call them but the wait times are insane. I've been on hold for hours and still can't get through 😫

•Ugh, USCIS and their phone lines 🙄 It's like trying to win the lottery just to talk to someone

•Tell me about it! It's like they're purposely making it difficult. Have you tried calling right when they open? Sometimes that works for me.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/eSz742AOvHc

•Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit? Has anyone else tried it?

Listen up, OP. Here's what you need to do: 1. File a new G-28 with your new attorney ASAP. This will officially link them to your case. 2. Send a letter to USCIS explaining the attorney change and requesting all future correspondence be sent to you directly. 3. If possible, set up an InfoPass appointment to discuss your case in person. 4. Keep trying to reach USCIS by phone. Be persistent! 5. Check your online account regularly for any updates or notices. Remember, it's YOUR case. Don't rely solely on attorneys. Stay proactive and informed!

Oof, attorney drama. Been there, done that. My advice? Get everything in writing. Email USCIS, your old attorney, and your new one. Paper trail is your best friend in these situations.

Quick question - did you file an AR-11 when you changed addresses? That could affect where they send your docs.

Hey OP, I'm in the exact same boat. Changed attorneys mid-process and it's been a nightmare. Let me know if you figure out a solution!
