Attorneys often handle many cases, so some delays are normal, but you should still receive basic updates and explanations. You have the right to copies of filings and to ask questions about timelines. Lack of communication over long periods may justify seeking clarification.

A second opinion doesn’t mean you’re disloyal. Immigration law is complex, and another professional may notice issues or options that were overlooked. Just make sure you don’t submit duplicate filings without coordination.

I sought a second opinion when I felt stuck. It helped me understand my case better and ask better questions. Clear communication builds trust and reduce stress.
