Received this email from my Lawyer yesterday

"I have received the fee request from the NVC for your wife's CR-1 visa. I have not yet received the check for $400 from you. I will notify you when I receive it and forward it to the NVC. Thank you."

I show the check signed for on Monday. Unfortunately, they use a PO box at Mailboxes etc. (did a reverse lookup on the address" This is just the latest in their ball dropping festival. It never stops with these people. I turned 40 last week. Hopefully I'll be with my wife for my 50th birthday.

I could've had 5 RFEs, and still been ahead of where I am today. So moral to the story. If you're in no hurry to be with your loved one, go out and get a lawyer. It'll only cost you a couple thousand dollars and delay your case.

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

OMG TYPICAL BLIMEY SODS-

We paid online and then i informed our lawyer since they are so messed up and have no clue - just sent them an email this morning in fact telling them how incomptent they really are-and send me my file - they are done and dusted as far as I am concerned.

Damn mate, hold on also what about the 70 for AOS? Again alot of us just paid online bypassing alot of days waiting but i guess too late to say that now to you

Only wishing you the best and your right, we had RFE's up the kazoo even when I told the lawyer this and that - arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - do they listen- NO

Godspeed

I am glad we DIY our Visa and later Adjustment of status, I prefer to be in control, lawyers are good for situations that are complex like dealing with Waivers, or perhaps a NOID, or returned petition.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.

I sent the AOS $70 out a week before. I didn't have the $400 at the time. My thought being, they would go ahead and file the AOS. Not sure why I thought that. That would make sense. If this was a one time thing, I would be upset, and get over it. This is like the 15th issue. It just never stops.

I sent them all the paperwork for the I-130 first week of January. They didn't file it until the first week of March. I could go on and on. I have been keeping records of the whole thing. Once my wife is on US soil, I am going into carpet bombing mode with posts about these jokers.

All I know about is my lawyer. Can't speak for others. I can't trust him to pick up his mail. I surely wouldn't trust them with a waiver or NOID. If I received an NOID and expected these clowns to handle it, I would just file for divorce. Tell my wife not to wait for me and get on with her life.

there will be a "boatload" of people who will echo your sentiments about there lawyer experiences

When a doctor or engineer screws up you can sew. When a lawyer screws up .... good luck. Unfortunatley the law profession is quite tarnished from my point of view and I think they really dont care either.

I guess I should look at the bright side. If I hired this guy to defend me on a traffic ticket, I'd probably be on death row.

Yes and you would still have to pay him or her ... or at least your estate does. :P
