Does Hiring A Lawyer Help

[__immigrant__ 58]

We've been stuck in the security checks before we get the i-130 approval for 7 months!

Does hiring a lawyer help?

Thank you

If your petition has been sent for approval and you're in the security checks and AP, there's nothing a lawyer can do. There's literally nothing that can be done other than wait. Especially from a country like Jordan, they're going to take their time sweet time as they're in no rush to approve petitions from there.

Thank your for your response. but do we have to wait for too long? and if the I-130 is stuck would the I-129F get stuck too?

A lawyer can only act on your behalf, there is nothing they can do that you can't.

Yes a K-1 would go through the same processes. That's not relevant to you though since you're already married.

no, unfortunately the only thing you can do is wait. You can call you US senator office to have them inquire on your behalf. But the only thing they can do is inquire, they will not be given any answers nor do they have the authority to speed anything up. Security checks are done when they are done and no one can tell you how long that will take,

Thank you, my wife and I are clear. but being on hold scares us that would take so long.

That's normal, there is not set time for the process, some cases take longer than others, it does not mean there is issues though.
