Recently my case got approval.

As I know, we have submitted all the documents including affidavit of support. Almost all the document needed except, police clearance certificate needed for a Beneficiary.

So I would like to know, do we have to provide any other documents after paying fees of AOS?

I have gone through this link

but it is not mentioning process step for those people, who have hired an immigration attorney??

Thanks

Doesn't matter whether you use attorney pr not the process is the same accept for people with attorneys they do not have to do the DS-261. But its still the same flow same documents. So once you have your Police certificate and pay the IV bill you can send in all your documents.

Me and my wife were planning to start our case ourselfs but we decided to hire an attorney.. Family member retired from Border Patrol after 40 years.. Anyways we didn't care about the cost of it because I know its a good investment ..I know a couple people who have done their process all by them selfs and succeed and some that have messed everything up so bad that have to wait longer ... So just to think about that I don't think I can handle anymore stress. ..If you do decided to go at it alone then best wishes ...but its not going to hurt if you hire an attorney its a good investment at least that's how I see it..... as to your question like DWHEELS76 said we all move at the same paste....Best wishes friend..

Oh I am sorry that I haven't mentioned that we already had hired an attorney very long back, but I was bit confused about the process after approval, and that's why I have post this question.

Well I also got answer of this question from one of the experienced VJ.

Hiring an attorney is good thing if he does his work after an approval. So this VJ told me that you can control the speed of the process after getting NVC case number if you have an attorney.

Yeah I am not worried about the cost, since we both has very busy life we can't afford to put our time in this process as you know how tedious it is. Thanks once again. Best wishes to you too.

The only thing I noticed that was faster was like said before you don't have to do the DS 261. So we got both our invoices at once about 2 weeks after the NVC received our case. For me it was worth having an attorney to double check all the paperwork. Our attorney didn't insist on waiting for the invoices to show paid before sending in the documents. But we were approved 2 weeks later so it wasn't that big of a deal to wait.
