Hello everyone,

My wife and I are using a lawyer(regret it now) and was wondering how James's shortcuts will fit in with our process.

I am reading all of this and it seems pretty complicated. It is even more complicated now that we have a lawyer and I don't know what he is going to do or not do.

Supposedly there is no DS-3032 that will be sent to my wife because we have a lawyer and it will be sent to him.

What can I do to still speed things up?

Any suggestions from someone with experience would be welcomed.

Thanks,

James's Shortcuts

Okay first where are you in the process?

Read here the NVC process wiki. Since you have a lawyer on file your AOS and IV will be invoiced together. No DS-1261 (replaced the DS-3032). Everything else is usually. Read the wiki come back if you have questions or concerns. You can also fire your lawyer send an email to NVC and they will be removed so no further correspondence to them.

Ok, my timeline shows that I have received NOA2 and am awaiting my case being received by the NVC.

I was wondering more specifically as me being able to benefit from the shortcuts even though I have a lawyer.

Can anyone help?

Read here the NVC process wiki. Since you have a lawyer on file your AOS and IV will be invoiced together. No DS-1261 (replaced the DS-3032). Everything else is usually.

James's shortcut might be a bit outdated. Dwheels76 gave you the correct link to the most updated info, tips and shortcuts. You can also join us at the current NVC thread for the month of April:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/488577-nvc-filers-april-2014/

Saylin, the same person the created the NVC process Wiki, and other members hang around that forum to answer most of our NVC questions.

From what I see from others here in VJ, it is extremely beneficial to read Saylin's wiki post and the NVC forum even if you already have a lawyer. You will be able to get a better idea of the process and assist your lawyer. In some cases, people were able to challenge their lawyers if they notice the lawyer was doing something wrong.

Congrats on your NOA2 and good luck!
