If you hired an attorney for the K-1 process, and then for whatever reason, chose to file the adjustment of status application by yourself, the attorney may still be associated with your case, even though you have now submitted a different application for a different immigration benefit.
In that case, you may need to prepare a statement indicating that you are now representing yourself before the USCIS. Below is a sample statement you may need to sign just prior to an adjustment of status interview.
“I___________________ have been duly reminded by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service that I do have an attorney of record listed in my file; however, at this time and for this interview, I choose to proceed without my attorney present. I hereby make this choice of my own free will without any influence from the Service.”
