choice of agent

[Beauty for Ashes 257]

I filled out a choice of agent with my attorney so am I safe to assume that I will not lose time at NVC for that. What other things are handled by the attorney. I am watching the timelines and they all say emailing for choice of agent. How much time does it save us that I have the attorney already assigned to the case? I want to know specifically how many weeks the assignment of choice of agent takes and are there any other things the lawyer will handle that I do not have to worry about? I am watching April approvals come in and it looks like things are speeding up a little with the I130s.. I hope and pray we are doing ok in USCIS and that they are working on our things. I really just pray things move along. This wait is killing me

It depends. Back in May and even June things were getting worked by the NVC withing 2 weeks, now it's taking them longer, so it's hard to say exactly how long you will have to wait. In my opinion, choosing the lawyer as the choice of agent will delay the process further since the NVC will mail him all the documentation they're requesting, then your lawyer will notify you of this, then you have to give your lawyer the documents and then he mails them back to the NVC. Having a middle man for the process always delays things.

hi

Cant tell about expereicne of working with attorney ... as In my case we never ever could afford an attorney and we did all our efforts ... like... i was assigned the job of doing research of various steps( which i am doing on this site)... while my wife woudl do the execution part... and we would co-ordinate this way .. and exchange information.

Right now CSC... is too much on load... people are getting NOA late.. check the www.uscis.gov website for the processing time.... and add 15 working days to that because of extra load of applications... Mind you.. please consider working days Only and not weekends with them

God bless you and I hope your wait ends ASAP

Trust me when I say I know how much the waiting sucks. That being said, an attorneWILL NOT SAVE YOU ANYTIME!! They will just ask you for information and verify that it is the correct information. Not to scare you, but even then, it's a game of chance, because everyone's case has different circumstances that affect their case. I hope all goes well for you and I pray that your process is expedited.

On top of that I'm going to vent a little in saying that the USA has definitely got it's priorities messed up. It allows the expedited processing of immigrant workers, for a fee, over people who want be re-united with their families and spouses. NOW THAT"S REALLY MESSED UP!!
