Leon,
i dont think they need a lawyer at the moment.its just a wasting of hard earned money.imagine paying a hefty amount just for assesment.surely,there are more fees to come.there are other ways and means than paying a lawyer.An employer can file the application alone without needing the help
of an attorney.
If i were in coolits shoes,this is what i will do.i will read all information regarding AINP then i will ask my employer for a heart to heart meeting.if it turns out negative, i will compromise by shouldering all expenses
that may arise.This is a win win situation.
