I suggested adding 2 fields in the timeline.

Are you using an attorney?

Attorney's name?

I didn't get a response form the board-op yet, just more kind words from Rebeccajo.

Note:

I'm really very sorry to hear that this man has not been doing his job. If he has taken money from you and/or has not acted in accordance with the contract to which you agreed, I urge all of you to please read this page from the Oregon Bar Association's Website: "If You Have A Problem With Your Lawyer" - The page details how you can go about filing a complaint and includes any numbers that you may need to call, as well as a sample form for filing a complaint. Don't allow this ####### to continue.

The only doom that's looming is you loving me to death,

So I'll give you a sec to catch your breath.

ATTENTION ALL VISA APPLICANTS!!!!!

..

If any of you are looking for a K1 or K3 visa attorney to help you with any forms etc, do not use the lawyer Calvin Knickerbocker of Sagaria law. I hired him as my visa lawyer and payed him $500, and he never completed my visa I had to do it myself. So he took $500 for nothing and wont pay me even part of that money back.

OMG!!! I nearly fainted when I saw this thread. If he is the same Calvin Knickerbocker from Oregon then he IS the lawyer my fiance hired for our K1 visa. We have filed, I believe, last month September '08 so we are just in the first stage of the process. What should we do?!? : :(

if you feel that strongley that he isnt doing what you are paying him to do.write a letter of complaint to oregan state bar (you can find the address and details online).they will bring this to his attension. the more people that complain then something should be done.
