You are spot on... to be honest, I don't care what the new lawyer thinks, I will and MUST inspect everything you have done before she submits my application. I have already lost about 10,000 dollars for my first application due to not checking what the first lawyer did. I later discover he did not submit some of the documents I gave him and also, he did not explain my FULL story in my application. you can tell because the immigration officer asks some questions like I can find evidence y or z or t in my application. again, you can tell my story kind of confuse the officer by the lawyer the not talk about me in detail. i am really pissed and i blame myself
...i can't take that chance this time around.
this is why I regularly come to this forum to seek advice... I don't always trust the suggestion of lawyers if it does not make sense to me. I come to this forum to seek a second opinion. so, far, it has always worked for me.
An example, I paid my lawyer to apply for a requestion of refusal letter from CIC. this lawyer charge. I paid this money in February this year. till now, we have not received the copy. can you imagine ? I came to this form to seek a second opinion on what I can do to get it faster. Ayanna told me what I should do. I did exactly what she told me and I receive the refusal letter in less than 24hrs from CIC for FREE. they sent it to me via email.
Now, be the judge. do you think you can always trust what a lawyer say OR do you think they always come up with the best idea? you now know the answer,
This time around, I have done about 80% of the work. the remaining 20% is what the lawyer needs to do in the area of using the law to back up my case and research work. once she is done, i will insapect it
