You will likely lose if youbtry that fast. Need to give reasonable timeframe for admin processing and such. At least 6 months,  and for travel ban countries at least a year

why 6 months or even 1 year? what happened to these laws??

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 706(1): 

Agency Action Unreasonably Delayed or Unlawfully Withheld   

The APA Act requires agencies to “proceed to conclude a matter presented” to the agency “within a reasonable time.” 5 U.S.C. § 555(b).

 

 Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2003

 Pub. L. 107–228, Div. A, title II, §233

Processing of Visa Applications

Section 233, states "It shall be the policy of the Department to process each visa application from an alien classified as an immediate relative or as a K–1 nonimmigrant within 30 days of the receipt of all necessary documents from the applicant and the Immigration and Naturalization Service."

After 6 months to a year is recommended if you are still in AP due to being from one of the countries under the presidential proclamation 9645 travel ban. Otherwise...i think 3 to 6 months is sufficient. You must give the agency enough time to prpvess you case. Do background check. Leave a paper trail showing you contacted embassy and senators. It will strengthen your case and likely you will get visa beforw even going to court. Usually within 6 weeks u get the visa bc they dont want to go to court. Costs between 5k to 10k i have heard

No official replied to the emails sent by the lawyer. Lawyer took 3500$ just to emails officials . They didn't bother to answer to the later, and now he wanted to pay him 12000$ to go to the court and off course I was not a fool anymore .

i know this is an old thread - but i strongly feel that you've chosen the wrong lawyer. Did you not interview the lawyer to make sure he has done these type of cases etc. So any updates on your case??
