[esky051108 0]

I regret hiring this lawyer that thinks he knows everything (very rude too). He sent our Aos package along with a check 1040 when it supposed to be 1070. I am very upset paying alot of money to hire him then he messed everything up. Now whats going to happen? please help thanks

They will reject your AOS and send it back due to incorrect fees. It will need to be sent back with correct fees, probably delaying your AOS application by a few weeks.

Dump the lawyer and try and get your money back. Collectively, VJ is a much more valuable resource, unless you have a particularly complicated case.

i came asking for my money back, but the idiot screamed into my face. At that time he hasn't completed the paperwork yet. The idiot was so rude, he said you already wasted my time by coming here in the first place and that i wont be getting all my money back. So i told the idiot go ahead and continued with our paperwork then. The idiot said he knows everything about immigration so i have nothing to worry about. He promised to send out the package so i continued to emailing him twice asking if he sends it out yet. Son of gun emailed me back saying dont ever email him again and that im starting to get on his nerve. He sent it out a week later with the wrong darn fees. I want to blow up in his face but then again i will gain nothing from this. Oh well, a lesson to learn from.

Wow, completely unprofessional.

I hope you have kept the emails, i would consider filing a formal complaint.

you should be able to file a complaint with the state bar association.. maybe that will help retrieve some of the fees you've paid him? make sure you keep all of his unprofessional emails.

Agree with the others, report him and make a complaint. Hope you kept copys of the emails and such.

My lawyer sent in the wrong fees as well! I was sooo mad! Then instead of overnighting the returned package he sent it via 2 day shipping!! GRR! Should have listened to my husband and NOT hire a lawyer!....However, it didnt set back my case too far. He said they included some expedite form or what not so once he sent it back they would pick up where they left off...but who knows if thats true...hes seems like a liar. I wanted to ask him for my money back but i figured he wouldnt agree to that.

lol there is no expedite for user error! specially not for incorrect fees, sorry. If it was USCIS's fault then maybe you could get an expedite but it would be difficult to prove their fault.

I would ask him for some of it back and then if he said no, loss is loss and just work some extra shifts to "make it back" and then fire him! if he payed the wrong fee... who knows what else he got wrong! the fee is listed right on USCIS website for heck sakes!! yikes.

how long was the delay? from the day he mailed out the wrong fees til the day he got back the package from immigration? im thinking around 2 weeks the most? At least your lawyer only sent out the wrong fees, my lawyer screamed into my face when i asked for the money back and much much more.

You must report this lawyer to the state bar along with all the emails he has sent you. This kind of people has to learn the lesson. They think they are doing us a favor but the fact is we "immigrants" make their living when we pay xxxx USD for doing some stupid paper work. He has lied to you which is good reason to get your money back.
