Hello,
My wife lives with a H1B in the US. Her employer has applied for a green card for her. Petitions I140 / 485/765/131 were submitted. I'm a Dependant in the I140 petition. Because I live in Germany, consular processing should be done for me.
We would like to change the immigration attorney, the consular processing should be supervised by another lawyer than the process of my wife. My wife phoned the new lawyer yesterday. He said that it would be possible to file the I-824 petition right now.
It will not be processed until after my wife's approved Adjustment of Status, but "my deadline is already running".
Well, I know the National Visa Center is working slowly before handing it over to the appropriate consulate. If we submit the I824 petition now: would the whole consular processing process be accelerated or will the NVC wait until my wife's greencard process is completed?
And my question no.2: The form for Petition I824 is only 7 pages long and not difficult to fill out. Has anyone completed consular processing without legal assistance?
