Hello,
I am being sponsored by my college for an EB1 application. We are filling 140/485 concurrently. My college has designated a law firm to represent applications, at the applicant's cost. I have been dealing with the most senior lawyer for a while, discussing my case with him. However, recently I realized that my case was transferred to a Legal Assistant just recently turned a lawyer (he just received his law license about two years ago,though has been working at the firm for about 8 years). It was this new lawyer who signed all my application forms, instead of the senior lawyer. I do have questions about the way this lawyer has filled some of the forms, and I am not sure, I am too comfortable. There are few typographical and factual errors on some of the forms, which can be corrected easily.
1. When you are represented by a firm, do I have a case to complain about this representation?
2. Does it mean that the junior partner's work is supervised by the senior lawyer?
3. I am paying for the services, so don't I deserve the best representation I can get?
4. Whom do I raise this issue with, my college administration or the lawyer?
Sincerely, Punda
