Need help

[ErickGuti 1]

I am a legal resident and my wife is a DACA recipient, but essentially here illegally. I recently fired our lawyer as we weren't satisfied with the service that he was providing. I want to do as much research as possible before hiring a new attorney. I would like to know what forms need the be submitted and in what order. I understand that we need to first submit a I-130 and a I-601 and pretty sure there are others. Also, I'm leaning towards hiring a new attorney, but am curious as to whether one can complete these forms with the right guidance. Any information, and or tips or advice is helpful. Thank you in advance for your attention.

@ErickGuti Hello I personally would look into doing an Advanced Parole for your wife and then an adjustment of status after. If there is no chance of getting an Advanced Parole for her than yes your other option would be Consular Processing.

@ErickGutiHi, we are just nearing the end of the journey. My partner has his appointment in April. It has been a long process as I'm sure you are aware of. We have a lawyer and he is our second one, I don't think I could have done it myself and didn't want to try as if we would have gone to Juarez and something was not done right he would have gotten stuck there,not worth the risk for a couple grand the lawyer cost. I can tell you this. we filed the I-130 first and when it was approved the lawyer contacted the nvc and had a hold put on the process then we submitted the 601a the hard thing about that is proving extreme hardship which we successfully did. Then along with the I-130 submitted them both and then we got our interview date. It has been a very long and stressful process. There is a lot of great information on here and immgrate2us and you tube. Also go to U.S Embassy and consulates in Mexico there is complete info on there. Remember you will need 601a to get assurance that your wife will not have problems being allowed back into the U.S.  601 is filed if she where already in Mexico trying to come here.  When we went into our lawyer after we received our appointment date he had our file on the desk that he submitted and I am not exaggerating it was 10-12 inches thick with all the information we submitted and it was all neath compiled with tabs for easy referencing. Good  luck. I say find a good lawyer but do your own due diligence and keep them on their toes. Remember it's called practicing law they make mistake too.??
