I-129F Deportation Documentation

[IcezMan_IcezLady 582]

Why wasn't the question addressed to the lawyer? The lawyer knows her case. We do not have all the facts. If you hire a lawyer, I think it is appropriate to first address the question to him. If he seems clueless and doesn't seem to get it, then its time to pick up the file and run. I just don't see the point in going first to a board,and asking for opinions on what the lawyer is doing, without first asking for the lawyer's rationale. perhaps what he is doing makes perfect sense and can be readily explained. Perhaps not. But communication between client and attorney is necessary. If he doesn't even understand what he's doing enough to file a 129f, then she certainly doesn't want him handling a complex waiver case.

You missed OP's question

His lawyer has told him what to do but he wants a second opinion.

Some lawyers have screwed things up for others but then OP hired him..In the end, anything submitted or not submitted is the sole responsibility of OP (in the eyes of USCIS).

So OP is protecting his interest by asking for second opinion.

Some folks have shared their experience..ball is in OP's court!

All my lawyer has said is that it is good to send in deportation papers 'to let immigration know that you know what you are dealing with.' I assumed that it would be in their system. I just don't want to aggravate the people that will be reviewing my packet by putting unnecessary information at this time. Thanks everyone for your input.
