Ineffective assistance of counsel的问题

8老师您好。表姐一家昨天去广州面签，夫妻俩都签出来了，但是女儿却因超龄被拒。现在想file motion.超龄的主要原因是原来的律师只收钱不干活，又碰上疫情，所以被耽误了。

刚刚网上research了一下，发现今年8月USCIS有新的policy alert, 其中ineffective assistance of counsel被加了进来。

摘录如下

Extraordinary Circumstances Due to Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

An applicant may only establish extraordinary circumstances due to ineffective assistance of counsel (the applicant’s legal representative or attorney) if the applicant completes the following:

• The applicant must submit an affidavit explaining in detail the agreement that was entered into with counsel regarding the actions to be taken and what information, if any, counsel provided to the applicant regarding such actions;

• The applicant must demonstrate that the applicant has made a good faith effort to inform counsel whose integrity or competence is being questioned of the allegations brought against counsel and that counsel has been given an opportunity to respond; and

• The applicant must indicate whether a complaint has been filed with the appropriate disciplinary authorities about any violations of counsel’s legal or ethical responsibilities, or explain why a complaint has not been filed
