This is so frustrating. I hate my lawyer.

My husband paid the processing fees on April 8 so we could have submitted the paperwork since the 9th (that's when they showed paid online). First we had to wait for the lawyer to come back from vacation, then wait for him to make the appointment to fill our the paperwork. My husband and mother in law went to his office last Monday to fill out the paperwork but the lawyer forgot to sign it and decided to go out of town again until tomorrow, which means that he won't sign it until Monday so by the looks of it they'll be sending in the papers on Tuesday, 20 days later!

So I guess a June interview is no longer an option

Hi! I totally understand you. My husband and I experienced the same frustrating situation with our lawyer. We got married in November, but even though we provided the lawyer with all the documents required very quickly, he only sent the I-130 in December. Moreover, he did not sent all the documents and we got a RFE. The lawyer delayed our case with about two months. Then, he just lied to us that he sent the I-129 in January, but we finally discovered in February that he did not send anything. We took the charge from that moment, we read a lot on the Internet and with the help of this great site we are now waiting for our case to complete at NVC. My advice is to avoid a lawyer as much as possible. Hire a lawyer only if it is a difficult case and you encounter problems! The lawyers do not care if you are alone while your husband/wife is so far away.

If any immigration lawyer reads this comment:

Dear immigration lawyers, for us, each day counts! We want to be with our beloved one! We want to start a family together!

Alina.
