what if I ignore my lawyer? - Page 3

No, I understand the lawyer's job is to do the whole work but he is really confusing me more and making me buy stuff that would end up being too expensive for me right now. I believe I have enough proof so I'm thinking of ignoring him just like my sister did with her lawyer, she already got approved.

Ok so would you ignore the lawyer and send the things yourself? my sister did that with her lawyer, she ignored her lawyer and sent the stuff herself and now she is approved. What's the worst thing that could happen if I ignore my lawyer?

See my problem is that getting those tax returns from years 2007 to 2012 is going to be so hard for me because they cost almost 60 dollars for each year, right now I don't have that kind of money. Yes, I do have bank statements for proof, but I also got a letter from my boss that I've been working with since 2007. I also have my paypal history from 2007 till now. I have receipts from when I used to buy stuff in stores and when I used to put gas in my car. I think that would be more than enough do you agree?

Thats what I understand too, but my lawyer thinks very differently, this is what he said:

It does state that we submitted evidence for 2008 through 2012, and for February and March 2007. The letter continues that we did not “submit any evidence indicating that you resided in the United States since June 15, 2007.” While the letter seems to imply that the missing evidence is limited to the period of June 2007 through the end of December 2007, because the letter did not expressly state the required evidence is limited to the period of June 2007 through the end of December 2007, I do not know for certain that we need to supplement the evidence only for the year 2007. I would rather not take a risk, and therefore recommend that we supplement the evidence for the entire period through the date that we submit the supplemental evidence."

So what would you do? Ignore him? What's the worst thing that could happen if I send only proof from June 2007 till December 2007 and later it turns out that they needed proof from the other years too? Would I get completely denied or get another chance and receive another RFE? Thats my fear.

I understand that, but don't you think my bank statements, a letter from my boss and other proof I get would be enough? Those Tax returns are expensive for me right now :/

That should be good, my daca application didn't even cover every month of every year. At most the most complete year I had was 2012.

I wouldn't send evidence for 2008-2012 that's for sure. They already have that evidence as its clearly stated in the letter. They just want to see 2007. You're paying the lawyer, you decide what gets done. Your lawyer is going to be extra cautious because you're paying him, but its still very clear that they only want the remaining of 2007.

Its your decision though.

You should really just ignore your lawyer. DACA is NOT something they're familiar oath as other things that have been active for longer than a year. He's making more complicated than it really is.

oh really? thats great! I'm sending my stuff asap

I got the lawyer for free from DACA clinics where they offer lawyers on pro bono for free..He did a good job in the beginning but he's really irritating me right now
