ASISTA Practice Alert: VAWA Self-Petitioner Interviews at USCIS Field Offices (Feb. 17, 2025)

This Practice Alert will review the information provided by USCIS about the commencement of these interviews and their response to advocacy. ASISTA urges practitioners to report their experiences with this process in our survey. We also urge practitioners to zealously  advocate for their clients who may be experiencing stress and confusion leading up to these interviews, and to educate USCIS Field Officers on the special considerations owed to VAWA self-petitioners.
