What to do when your Lawyer doesn't do his job?

I would suggest that when you file your greencard application you ask for an entry/exit authorization at the time. Then you can go home before you actually get your greencard.

If I remember correctly, premium processing adds an addition $1000 (or maybe $1500) to the process. This can speed up the process quite dramatically (it reduced my H1B wait to only about 5 months ... usually it is almost 12). Since my employer is paying for my visa process it is in their best interest to pay the additional money (it helps reduce the lawyer's fees). You might want to consider it, but you need to file that at the same time as the application so you will need to talk with your lawyer.

I will definitely do that... thanks for the tip

I would also recommend that you start gathering your paper work for the appllication. It has taken me months to get everything in order and then I found out I needed to have a copy of my birth certificate with my parents names on it. So I had to order it from Canada and that is the only thing I am waiting for now.

Yeah I already ordered one just in case.... the only thing we are waiting on is one more tax return from hubby. He needs three recent ones... so we are waiting for this one to come back and then we have everything we need.
