Change of lawyer
Hi all
here is the scenerio. My company is aquired by another company. My admin. told me that the H1 will have to be done by new company's lawyer. But I might have choice of retaining the present company's lawyer for my GC process. My labor cert. is done and I- 140 have already been filed in Sept. Cannot file I-485 due to retro. my question is, is it advisable to change lawyer mid process? Upside is at present I do not know much about new comp. But admin assures us that new comp. is willing to carry forward the process and have their own lawyers and will pay for GC. Right now I am paying for my GC. Also it will be done thru new company's HR so if there is any RFE on I- 140 they will respond faster to their own lawyer (atleast I hope so).
Downside is I do not know anyone from new comapny's HR nor their lawyers at present. How does USCIS deal with change of lawyers? I am worried about any loss of communication between USCIS and and comp due to change of lawyer. Please share your opinions.
I did try to search other threads for this type of info but after one hour started getting a headache after reading for so long so thought to post it here as I am one of the Sept 2005 cases. Thanks in advance for your help
