It's worth reposting this one at this time:

 

A man walked into a lawyer's office and asked about the lawyer's rates.

"It's $900 for three questions," replied the lawyer.

"Isn't that awfully expensive?" asked the man.

"I don't think so," the lawyer replied.  "And what is your third question?"

In addition to the retainer, there's the $12,573 charge for every 6 minutes of service thereafter...

I think we're all in the wrong business.

hi all, I got my green card through VAWA and in january i'm eligible to apply for citizenship. what documents, women that got our green card through VAWA, need to submit in order to apply for citizenship? does anyone has a list?

for VAWA citizenship petitioners is it better to apply online or by mail? and Do you think is it necessary to hire a lawyer for help with the process?

It is Wednesday -- time for our hilarious, eagerly awaited Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

======================================

SEVERAL LAWYER JOKES

 

What do you have when 100 lawyers are buried up to their necks in sand?

-- Not enough sand.

 

What do you have when a ship carrying 100 lawyers sinks to the bottom of the ocean?

-- A good start.

 

What do lawyers use for birth control?

-- Their personalities.

 

Lawyer's Creed:  A man is innocent until proven broke.

 

What's the difference between a female lawyer and a pit bull?

-- Lipstick.

 

You're trapped in a room with a tiger, a rattlesnake, and a lawyer.  You have a gun with 2 bullets.  What should you do?

-- Shoot the lawyer.  Twice.

Hi Folks,  I have an administratively closed order from the judge. My I-485 is pending. My attorney submitted my I-485 without termination. Then, approximately 7-8 months later, I learned from here that they made a mistake. I contacted them about their mistake, and finally they admitted it. They made a phone call with me. and they said that they were going to submit a motion to court and make your case active again, but almost 45 days ago. Lately, I got a phone call for my work permit, which has been approved for 5 years, and this time I asked them about motion, and they said they submitted it without giving me a piece of paper for it. How can I find it? An immigration court case lookup on Google just shows administratively closed; that’s all; no appeal; no date. 
This is just a notice for you guys to make sure your agreement with the attorney is valid.
I reached an agreement with my first attorney, I-485, I-360, and I-765, and the removal proceeding totaled 4,5K. I paid $2,000, then my attorney moved to another state, as he told me. He forwarded my case to his friend, who is now my current attorney. This attorney also made a client agreement with me. I signed, but there was no mention of I-485, and after a while, I checked and found I recently paid $1500 for I-485.
My first attorney also joined this law firm and handled my case. Lately, they asked for a shipping fee for a work permit. The first time they asked me, I just wanted to stick these agreements on their faces, but I’m scared of it. Just be careful please I was so rush don’t be rush . I got approved without their help because I also submitted my Vawa again because I checked they didn’t submitted all my documents so please make sure for everything ask all prof which lately I am asking

Why don't you reach out to your judge's clerk to find out from him/her if they have received the motion from your attorney? If they did receive then how long it would take take for judge to dismiss.
