Why do you need an attorney for that ?GCdreamer2006 said:Folks, please recommend a good lawyer able to handle AC21 for me, Seattle, WA area.
It seems my current attorney (whom I have been paying to handle my case) has no experience at all on AC21.

Firstly, I wud say that you dont need to send any AC21 letter. Wait if USCIS send RFE, then you may mention AC21 in your response. Why pay attorney $$$ for nothing.
Secondly, If you still want to send a letter, you can find it in one of the AC21 threads here.

Let's see the strategy:
I get EVL ready just in case from potential new employer.
Then in case I ever get an RFE, I could hire an attorney them ?
Obviously I would need to send form G-28 immediately so that my existing company's attorney would be out of the picture. What steps do I need to take when sending G-28 to inform a new lawyer ?
Cheekoo said:G-28 may also be used to REMOVE any attorney ... You may choose to get all correspondense sent to you if you mention it in G28 - Try not to send USCIS something they did not ask you to send them.
It will be only 1 mail. Evl+paystubs+G28+Cover letter explaining your elegibility for AC21 and AC21 Law quotation. Get a sample letter from this forum. AND THATS IT.
USCIS sent RFE to me .. Not to the Lawyer. I sent USCIS the required documents and took help from that format for AC21 letter. ( Its just using "english" in a better manner)
marlon2006 said:OK, but then if you remove lawyer our idea of not informing USCIS about AC21 doesn't apply anymore ? You are saying that if you send G-28, I would need to send EVL to justify why I am removing the lawyer ?
Also, what happens when time comes to renew my EAD in December ? If I don't inform USCIS about AC21/change jobs proactively, I guess by the time I need to renew my EAD they would trigger a probable RFE ?
