EB-1A Scammed? Lawyer Disappears After ‘Filing’

An EB-1A applicant is facing serious trouble with their immigration lawyer. The lawyer stopped responding after taking the case, even though they previously handled three O-1 visas for the family without issues.

Lack of Communication

You shared all required documents, but the lawyer allegedly disappeared for two months. When they returned, they blamed the delay on an assistant quitting, which left you confused and concerned about your petition.

Delayed Filing

The lawyer stretched the filing process for another month and a half. Even after claiming that the petition was filed three weeks ago, they still cannot give you a case number, which should be available soon after submission.

Missing Receipt Number

The lawyer now wants you to reapply, saying they have no tracking details. Experts flagged this as a major red alert. If the payment check was deducted, the receipt number must exist, and the lawyer should provide it.

Possible Non Filing

Experts believe the original petition may never have reached USCIS. A reapplication resets your priority date and adds more expenses. You have been advised to request the image of the deposited check and verify the filing with USCIS through Emma.

Applicant’s Stress

This situation has caused you unnecessary worry. Experts say lawyers must be held accountable for such behaviour, and the government needs stronger oversight to protect immigrants from these issues.
