Hi everyone! I have a question. Is it true that using a lawyer delays the NVC process? Have you a used a lawyer for your papers?

This is very important, cause We're been waiting for almost 3 years and now that the file reached the NVC we don't want more delay.

Thanks

Most of the lawyers are 'reactive'. And they will prefer paper method to respond. It would take many months to complete NVC.

But, if you are 'proactive' with latest emailing method for DS-3032 and online payment for AOS review and IV fee method, you can get out of NVC in one month. If NVC is clogged, 1 to 2 months at the most.

Follow LingChe shortcut for NVC.

Well... I don't trust my lawyer. I really don't know guys. Our case was stuck in USCIS for 2 1/2 years and after we hire the lawyer they finally sent the case to NVC. I supposed he did something but He also asked for more money and I did't like that.

Lawyers are good if one doesn't know the process or if one has extreme complex cases.
