processing time and response
I have received my work authorization and travel documents since July of 2023 . per processing time it takes 15 months for my time of case. I am pass that now and I am worried… any suggestions on how to get more detail on my case ?
do lawyers consultation on here help with cases at all ?
Reason why some attorneys have a perfect 5 star rating (or 4.9 star) even with 200/300/400+ reviews
After scouting through like 40 lawyers all over the country & looking up their details for days & calling some & emailing some, I have realized that there are three different categories of lawyers
1. One that fakes it - The lawyer that knows regular average stuff & will take any & all cases because he doesn’t get much business because once you work with him, nobody will ever come back again or refer anyone to him. This lawyer pays for reviews, I saw a couple of lawyers with hundreds of fake reviews.
2. The genuine but ‘fake’ at the same time - This lawyer doesn’t take chances with his reputation & will only accept your case if he knows that there’s a high chance of approval. The reviews are genuine, 5 star with hundreds of reviews, but it’s 5 star simply because they decline any case with any slight chances of rejection, which means no dissatisfied customer. A lot of the cases they reject get approved with help from other lawyers. That means they are just ordinary average lawyers but are honest & will not rip you off.
3. The genuine extraordinary ones - These lawyers cost you a kidney & a heart. They will take up all cases but will give you a genuine expectation & most of the times they will deliver. These lawyers have mostly positive reviews. These lawyers are highly professional and have staff that doesn’t think it’s ok to reply to the customer after a few days, like most staff at a lawyer office thinks.
This is what I have come across in the last few days. Although my NOID lawyer is still working on my case, I am keeping my options of a lawyer open as of now & waiting for replies from a few.
Waiting for almost 1.5 years
Hey guys! I’m a legal permanent resident, filled I-130 for my wife last February, then on July 27 last year it went to an active review stage, haven’t received any update since. How much more time should I wait? Is there anything I can do to speed this up somehow?
If anyone is or was in the same situation, please share your thoughts and experience. I appreciate any kind of help. Thank you.
