Hi, I am new here. My question maybe sounds very simple. But do please give me your valuable suggestions...

My background is: MS, +2 yrs of experience, my attorney told me that I am qualitied to file LC under EB2.

My situation:
I am working in a university, when I started the GC application last November, the General Consular in our university told me we'd better hire the attorney they recommended. Let's say Mr. A. Then, my appointted attorney --Mr. A suggested me to file a regular LC in case that PERM didn't work well. So, my regular LC finally filed at the week of March(they forgot to file my case in January, till I asked for receipt # in March), and no news for this one so far. I pushed him to do advertisement for my PERM case since then, but till now, the only thing they did is get a PWD for me at the end of last month, and then nothing happened. During the last several months, I kinda of feel that Mr. A is really slow at my case. I am not sure is this normal for attorneys? Or, if there is an excuse, let's say, unstable PERM system, with the news of pemissions of PERM cases, they should proceed to do ads for me first, right?

Anyone please give me suggestions: should I change attorney at this point? Or, any ideas of how I can push him to do things in a timely manner?
 
I had a similar situation to yours, where my attorney assured me the LC process was all set, only to find out 2.5 years later that the paperwork was never filed! I would be VERY careful and make sure you are on top of your attorney constantly. It is my understanding that PERM regulations are stricter than regular LC. Most of the work (advertising, etc) has to be done BEFORE filing. Under regular LC, although it does take longer, the advertising takes place per DOL set schedule. Please keep in mind that whether you go with PERM or regular LC, both processes can take a long time. Just make sure you are on top of it and keep open communication with your attorney.

At each stage you should get involved and get copies too. Good attorney always go ahead and file and if any problem comes he will face it , for that purpose only we are paying this hefty fees. If he does not want to take that kind of risk, but fond of fees, you must change the attorney immediately.
