今天收到律師樓助理說我的 H1B 案件需要補件(Request For Evidence, RFE),洋洋灑灑共有十大條,頗讓人氣餒,因為依我看來,短時間內根本無法備齊這些資料。

律師助理表明這些資料必須由我和公司提供。但說真的,我「一直以為」:我和公司只要負責一些毋須大腦的既定文件,那些需要包裝與詳加闡述的文件則是律師的工作。但助理堅持:我和公司才了解業界生態,這些文件是我的事。

例如,「Standards for a Specialty Occupation Position」這項,我要自己去搜集資料,找到在業界約當公司規模、約當年營業額的公司,一般都有此一職位的需求、且都有雇用「學士」的限制。要我幫忙找參考點,沒問題,因為這是我的案件我責無旁貸,但若把此一責任全推到我身上,跟我想像中「交由律師全權辦理」實在差很遠。

重點是,我沒有辦「H1B」案件的經驗,我實在不懂該如何「包裝」我的案件才能一解移民官的疑慮、進而核准我的案件。這麼重要的問題,難道不是我之所以求助專業律師的起始點嗎?

所以,不知有沒有人認識願意半途接手的專辦工作簽證律師,願意急件幫我處理這些文件?需要補件的十點列在本文最後,謝謝。

唉,收到「RFE」通知真是晴天霹靂,有種不祥的預兆,心情好沈重 。也許,光輝的十月,就得打包行李回台灣。
