Hi,

Mine is a AC21 case. I'm trying to file a G28 form and represent myself instead of using my old company's lawyer. Can I do that? Do I need to fill up some extra paper work or send a special letter along with the application?

Any input regarding this is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Niti.
 
You will not file G-28 for yourself. If some attorney is representing you then G-28 should be filed. I think you can include the letter stating that attorney is no more representing you and all the further communication should be directed to you.
 
Thanks tammy2.

But, if I can't file G28 for representing myself, I won't be sending anything to USCIS. So, how do I send them a letter saying that all the communication should be directed to me?

Thanks,
Niti.

From the wording of the form G-28 itself, I would assume that Tammy2 is correct in that a written notice that the representation by a authorized attorney is not valid anymore is required. However, it is not clear who would do this, but I would assume 99% that the old attorney would be the one that would have to write this letter and send it. You then, as a petitioner, assume default responsibility in representing yourself in the case (no action required).

A G-28 can be filed only by a lawyer or by a "representative of a religious, charitable, social service or similar organization will appear before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on behalf of a person involved in a matter before USCIS."

The above quote is from G28 instructions on CIS web site:

I think that is the guy's question though, if not a G-28 how to do it. And the answer is a formal letter (there is no CIS form) from the attorney stating that he no longer represents him and that the petitioner is assuming those duties.
 
So, I can't send in a letter to the USCIS and tell them that I should get the communication in future.

My lawyer is really bad. My ex-company found this lawyer and he represents them in a way. So, even if I write him an email, he will charge my old company... which is not good.

I'll ask him anyways if there is no way out.

Thanks guys.

It would not hurt to call the 1-800 number and see if you can get an answer there. I would not hold my breath that the answer will be correct :( but it's a start. And, how much can he charge for writing a letter? 1 hour of work? It sounds like you might not be on the best terms with him and/or the previous company ;)
 
Yeah, I can definitely ask him to write the letter and pay him for it. It won't be a big deal.

Being on good terms with my old company or lawyer ... ha ha ha.. I'm not going there. All I'll say is that even I left on good terms with my old company, I'll still have to pay for that tiny letter.

I'll also try calling the 800 number.

Thanks a lot,
Niti.
 
Since it is your case and he is representing you, your letter is more effective then the attorney's.

You need to write the letter and ask BCIS to take the action. Call 1-800 number and tell them they may send E-mail for changing that information.
