In the pass I used to work for many big laws firm and dealt with all kind of lawyers (big shoot and little one) in the state. Some but not all lawyers will go that extra miles to get thing done because they can't call each day to NVC for every case they work on, even their paralegal and secretary. I can see where your husband position even though he paid and hired a lawyer to represent him but he also doesn't want step on anyone toes and let the pros handle each step of entire journey, if you get my grip.

Knowing and following VJ is a good thing but also have it bad side. Good side of VJ you can save $$$ from hiring a lawyer and shave off those extra weeks during NVC, bad side of VJ are some questions and answers may or may not be correct that applied to your position (some immigration documents can get confusing and frustrated at times) and by filling out or miss understood instructions will trigger your case to delay or even worst denial. What I am saying is that with a lawyer may delay only few weeks from POE but your husband can assure job done right. For others that never go through or down this road before it's a scary journey to be alone or where to even begin with.

My words for you at this moment it should be spend with your family and put NVC aside, let the lawyer do their jobs it may not be done right away but either way it will get done.

Paralegal is a helper/secretary of Lawyer during court procedures.

Anyone can be your choice of Agent, but I think since your case was filed by an attorney he/she may or checked off him/her as your agent along with I-130, meaning all documents will be send directly to that law firm.

i'm not really sure if our paralegal sent that form that informs USCIS that she is our agent or she is just helping my husband to prepare everything. it is just so disappointing that whenever i asked about it from my husband he would just tell me my paralegal knows everything whatsoever... so upsetting that he is so lazy to tell me what is going on with the process.. by this time I think he should be paying the bills but i think he havent since he wasnt able to contact this paralegal. my husband seems insensitive about what i feel... the stress of waiting to be with him for a very long time...

i'm planning to call NVC to ask them if there is an attorney/paralegal on file... im not sure if they will answer my question...

i did try to talk to my husband but he said he couldnt contact our paralegal coz she's not in her office. he left a message and apparently my husband is the kind of person who is so patient. i tried to remind him to call again and when i asked him again if he was able to contact her, my husband just told me i should not be a paranoid. that word upsets me. i find it hard to get his attention. i want to just wait but it's stressing to think for additional delays.

You can call NVC and ask if an attorney on file and NOT PARALEGAL, only an attorney can represent you. If there is one, I strongly suggested you don't submit or send anything to NVC but to contact your lawyer explaining that you have received bla...bla...do you need to bring them in their office? and see what they say or guide you to next step.

Did your husband told them about case# has been assigned? and he should be paid that $88 through online if that fee is not included with attorney fees. They may told him to waited out for the package to arrived in mail than bring that to them.

Hi...Readerchoice given some good informative information. I understand your feeling anxious, try not to.

None of US is any further in the process than you are. I read on the NVC site all the difficulties people encounter since they received their case number. Of course they all from different countries, different requirements. I'm sure your husband wouldn't be this patient and calm if things go wrong. Spend the time you have left with your family and make good memories. :D
