Overall I was happy that we hired Mercy Sequeira to help with our Adjustment of Status case based on marriage after entry on a K-1 visa. We were referred to her by my employer, and my legal insurance plan paid her fees for the paperwork preparation. (We didn't ask her to come to the AOS interview, be...cause she let us know the fee wasn't covered by my insurance, and we didn't have any problems at all -- the interview was pleasant.) There were a few minor issues in the paperwork process, but in general things went smoothly and the application was approved (hooray!) Good points: * We had some complicated issues due to a long last name after marriage, and Mercy helped us make a plan of action for dealing with the long name. This was the primary reason we wanted legal help. * Mercy always emailed us promptly with status updates. Sometimes she would receive a status update from immigration before we did, and it was nice knowing we had a reliable backup in case we misplaced the mail! * Mercy was available on email, which I appreciate, and we also had a couple long phone consultations. Overall the process was speedy. * There were a few typos that Mercy spotted on our paperwork and corrected before submitting to USCIS. Points for improvement: * There was one point where Mercy asked us to do an additional medical exam that wasn't necessary, because of how our particular case had progressed. I read the USCIS information carefully to determine we were ok without the extra exam, and Mercy agreed after some discussion. This was slightly frustrating, but I understand that the USCIS instructions are often confusing and even inconsistent, as far as I can tell. My recommendation is to double-check and discuss with your lawyer when questions like this come up. It's probably better to treat your legal help as a knowledgeable partner instead of a perfect oracle :) * While preparing the paperwork and sending documents over, there was one time when Mercy couldn't find a document I sent; I simply forwarded my previous email to her when she said she hadn't received it. Not a huge deal, but probably there is room for some process improvement to streamline such things. I should point out that our case was rather easy, and I feel like we would have been fine without legal help, aside from the confusion about the long name. However, it gave us peace of mind and sped up the process to have Mercy's help -- especially with the long name issue -- so I'm happy we had her assistance.
