My future employment based GC filed 2003, PD is Current as of july 2013, i140 approved 2007, opted for CP at the time of i140 filing or approval i guess. even after i became current, i did not get my packet from NVC. So i contacted NVC they said they don't have my file as for some reason it was sent to USCIS so i contacted USCIS, they can't disclose to me but they will to petitioner or lawyer only. lawyer says we have to do step 3 which is applying for CP to NVC. when i said we already applied for CP at the time of i140 (the i797 notice says NVC will contact as numbers will become available). When i requested Lawyer to contact USCIS and move back my file to NVC he says we have to apply for CP and i have to pay his fees for this step (says step3). As far as remember I paid all the fees 10yrs ago when we first filed for GC. But he says step 3 was not charged, Where the full amount agreed for GC process was already paid. When I argued that my i797 says I will be going to Montreal US Embassy/Consulate for CP, he says at that time it was only informed to them and it was setup for CP instead i485, and now we have to actually apply for CP as the PD is current. How far this is true that we have to file for CP? If my file was at NVC wouldn't i have already got the communication , like some of my friends did? How should I proceed now?
