Stay strong and don't let this get you down. Do you have exact copies of everything you gave your attorney? Do you have the packet together to file yourself? If not, don't fire your attorney yet. See if you can figure out what happened to your packet. Give this attorney a few more days to respond to your inquiry about the paperwork and then if he doesn't respond, send the paperwork yourself. Also, if he sent the paperwork by regular (first class mail), it could still be a few more days before it shows up in the system at NVC. I would hope an attorney charging $1400 wouldn't use standard mail, but I don't know your attorney, either.

If you do end up firing him, it can't impact your paperwork in any way as long as you know at what point in the process you are and what has been filed so far. I believe you'll need to change your choice of agent so that it's not your lawyer anymore, but that shouldn't be too difficult, I hope. You should be prepared to take charge of your case now, but you already know that this forum will provide all the help and advice you need.

Good luck!

Long story short, we have a complicated case. We've been at this for nearly 5 years. You can read our story here. I highly recommend our attorney Laurel Scott, as well as attorneys Laura Fernandez and Lizz Cannon .

Filed I-130 via CSC in Feb 2008. Petition approved June 2008. Consular interview in Mexico, Oct 2008, visa denied, INA 212a6cii. We allege improper application of the law in this case.

2012, started over in Seoul: I-130 filed DCF on 7/2, I-130 approved 8/8, Medical at Yonsei Severance 11/20, IR1 appointment in November 2012.

CRBA filed 1-3-13 at Seoul for our daughter
