Legal Question in Immigration Law in Massachusetts

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Unfortunately, you can't miss the adjustment of status interview and can't go there by yourself (your applications can be denied). You should consult a lawyer ASAP. If you plan to file the I-360, it's possible to ask the local USCIS office to hold your adjustment application in abeyance pending decision on your VAWA petition. An experienced immigration lawyer would know how to do it.

There is no need to wait for any forms to arrive by mail. The I-360 can be downloaded at www.uscis.gov . However, you need to submit supporting documents with your application (not just an application alone). It's always advisable to have a professional legal help with a VAWA self-petition. You may want to inquire at the shelter where you stay, they may have local Free legal services or Catholic Charities contacts.

This is some basic information about VAWA:
