I've been doing this stuff for more than a decade, and I have very little idea from your original post what your specific issue is or what you need to do. And it's not because I lack experience or am bad at my job. I'm sure whatever e-mail you sent to the recommended lawyers was more detailed, but even still it sounds like you're in a very peculiar situation and you're probably going to have a hard time finding someone who has a lot of experience with your specific situation. Immigration law is really, really complicated, and I hope you can appreciate that a lawyer -- even a very good one -- might need some time to look at your documents and research the issues before coming up with a detailed answer. Just because whoever you spoke to doesn't have a lot of experience with cases exactly like yours doesn't mean the lawyer is bad or can't help you. You should also know that there may not be anything any lawyer -- even the best one -- can do to get you the exact result you want. The law, as currently written, doesn't allow for a lot of leeway. That doesn't mean you should give up hope, but it does mean that you should probably have an in-person consultation with one or two of the recommendations here (my vote still goes to Maggio & Kattar -- they are widely (and, in my opinion, deservedly) regarded as absolutely the best in DC) and see where it goes from there.

Good luck.

Actually, the least of the issues with that person was the lack of knowledge... we're definitely willing to work and learn together with someone who'll take our case. the biggest problem was the attitude, trying to make us feel like we don't know what we were talking about, diminishing the hard work our attorney has done already.

Anyway, I really appreciate your response. Thanks a lot for your suggestion.

Based on only your postings, I would say you don't know what your doing. First tip off, was when you said it wasn't an emergency because you had a "few months". HAHAHAHAHAHAH - clearly you think you are going to make effective headway with both a lawyer AND CIS in a few months. That alone makes me think you have no idea....

And were you trying to be helpful or just bitching around?

The OP seems very unlikeable from her "thanks, but no thanks" responses. I'd think it was an emergency no matter what the time limit, if I thought there was even a remote chance I'd ever be permanently separated from my family. But, she's obviously not as concerned given her flippant attitude. So, on her behalf, I'll say thanks to everyone who offered advice! I hope I have responses like this if I ever need someone to come to my rescue!!

Fragomen, del Rey, Bernsen and Lowey are the best in this field. Unfortunately our contact there just went on leave.
