Your lawyer has given you good advice. By leaving before he turned 19 1/2 years old, your husband accumulated more than 180 days of unlawful presence but less than 1 year of unlawful presence which resulted in a 3 years ban. If he left after age 19 1/2, he would have accumulated more than a year of unlawful presence which would have resulted in a 10 years ban. If your husband never left, there would no way for him to be legal under the current law (the Obama order to allow a person to apply for a waiver without leaving the US is not in place and there is no timeline for when it will be in place - so you cannot rely on this now).

If you are changing lawyer because you don't like your lawyer, then that is a good decision.

If you are changing lawyer because you think your husband shouldn't have left the US and you can't handle the separation, then you are making a bad decision. Your lawyer is giving you good advice. It's not her fault that your husband's situation sucks. It's his family's fault because they brought him to the US illegally, and it's his fault for staying in the US illegally after he became an adult.

Oh, I know she had the correct information, but what I mean is that a lot of people do this process with the ten year ban. I have also consulted different lawyers and a few said that adjudicators might look at the 3 year ban and think "oh well it's not that long, so he doesn't necessairly need to be approved right now" I don't know if they will do that (I hope not), but my previous lawyer basically made it seem like if he had the 10 year ban that he would have to be there 10 years.

Besides that though, we are changing lawyers because she was inconsistent with contact, cancelled appointments last minute, and just did not seem very concerned with our case or updated with the current information regarding filing a waiver through Ciudad Juarez. Thank you for the input though :)
