Our case is a bit complicated and we're looking for a lawyer who is savvy, knows the ropes, is connected and can get the job done (we know it can be done). We just done know how to go about finding such lawyer.

 

We've called many lawyers (going solely off Google searches) but thus far have been only disappointed. The information they give I could pull up in less than 5 mins with a simply Google search. They don't seem eager to find a solution and just robotically recite basic information. We are looking for an ingengeous lawyer, somone who can think outside the box. Basically a Saul Goodman, if you will, from Better Call Saul. 

 

Appreciate any point in the right direction. 

 

P.s. Already tried the ones (sponsors?) on this site.

I think most of us here could offer better advice about which attorneys NOT to hire.  I know I could.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Is it possible that with all the consults you have had that there is no creative solutions to get around what ever it is that you are trying to get around.

creative solutions??? for what

immigration lawyers have to follow the rules and obey the laws

they can't just come up with an  inventive way to solve a problem "that Is "outside the box"

many are good /  many are very expensive 

and if you want one,  he/she would do their best to help u'

 

USCIS has a waiver for every possible situation that is legal and i can not imagine something that wouldn't qualify

There is nothing creative about immigration. You can be either eligible based on your situation or not. If you are not truly eligible I am sure you will manage to find a lawyer to take your money either way.

Jim Hacking is great. He has a YouTube channel and answers questions live every week. He does his work 100% remotely. If nothing else, he is great to watch on YouTube even if you don't hire him.
