    would my lawyer know

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Employing a lawyer for a case like this is the same as flushing money down the toilet. They're taking your money to do something anyone with a 6th grade education can do on their own.

    Haha

    They (lawyer&secretary) were treating us like 6graders too for telling us to whatever we do just wait for them and not call NVC because they said that theyre already representing our case.

    You have the right to check on your case especially after

    rfe (they wont know) if they do so what? they work for U

    its a control mechanism so U don't know when they lie to U

    and sit on paper work for weeks because they already got

    your money

    Everything you said is REAL.

    Thanks for that.

    It just makes me nod my head.

    Ayayay...

    I wouldn't go that far, but most people with a decent head on their shoulders could probably handle this process on their own. Some very smart people get intimidated dealing with gov't officials and by all of the paper work that comes with it. For some a lawyer is a wise choice and well worth the money.

    Thanks Teddy B

    Hubby and me- both busy so we thought of hiring a lawyer- it was kind of okey waiting but when the secretary told me to stop calling Nvc it really got into me.

    You're welcome.

    At what stage is your case in the process?

    • Has the AOS bill been paid?
    • Has the AOS package been mailed?
    • Has the IV bill been paid and civil documents submitted?

    Looking at your timeline with a late January approval and the case transferred to NVC in early Feb -- you should be done with the medical/interview or worst case scenario -- waiting to interview. Provided you/your husband were diligent with submitting the AOS and IV packages in a speedy manner.

    Yes we were doing things in a speedy manner,I have my docs readily available whenever lawyer would ask, since i have been reading here in VJ, I had all the civil docs (ready) and some other stuff they(lawyers office) might ask from us, and will just hand them what they need/ask.

    Late approval because we were asked for an RFE.

    Right now, we are still waiting for the completion of the review and of course the blessed day for an INTERVIEW that is hopefully will be set soon.

    thanks again, it feels better that there're people replying to me who understands and whose been in (bit) similar to my situation.

    If you're not happy with the level of service your lawyer provides -- you can fire them.

    Thanks @leatherneck

    yes, fire the lawyer or call their firm every hour so he will stop representing you. Your just throwing money away. I decided to do it myself and now my wife is here in Ohio by my side.

    We can now use that money to take a vacation instead or create her bank account

    @poolbruce

    Yep. That you said would be a better use of money. Thanks for replying

    Our lawyer asked me to stop calling NVC

    in National Visa Center (Dept of State)

    Can i not call the NVC to follow up my case?

    It was because there was one time, that i called NVC if our case is already complete, but instead of hearing that it is still under review, they told me they sent an email asking us to give the lacking document from my husbands employer, then i asked my husband to please call the office of our lawyer, Lawyers secretary told him that yes, there were more documents being asked, and after few hours of their conversation, the secretary of the lawyer asked me to stop calling NVC as this may trigger speculations and more work for them, what i didnt understand is what is she talking bout "more work for them"?

    anyways i just needed to vent out, I am feeling so anxious, I have no one to talk to about this because i dont wanna bother my husband with it as he may feel worried about me- we have been away from each other for one year and 2months now and its so painful :crying:

    So, can i not ask NVC? :(

    I think that we may need to create one for January, and August is probably coming up next.

    Putting this here as a reference for anyone who is looking for the spreadsheets. I'll update the post as needed.

    Btw, perhaps we can come up with a master spreadsheet that combines all of this info?
