Recently, I reiterated my usual refrain to a client:
"Well, as you know I may not be fast, but I try to get things done right."
My client rephrased this by saying: "Well, yes, you are meticulous."
Meticulous. I like this word. In Spanish it is "Meticulosa," and I am going to use this to explain my process to new and existing clients from here on out.
Why does this matter?
In my humble opinion, we, sadly, have entered into a time when forgiveness and benefit of the doubt no longer exist with immigration processing. Requests for Evidence (RFEs) letters for a forgotten document readily available is no longer the case; your application may simply just be rejected or denied because you failed to include a prior divorce decree or a birth certificate. In the past, USCIS would simply ask (via RFE) for the clearly missing item).
Attorneys and preparers must take additional time to ensure that all of our i's are dotted and t's are crossed. We should be doing this anyway.
So, yes, I take a bit more time on the front end of case in effort to avoid negative outcomes on the back end such as delayed processing, an RFE letter, or forbid a rejection or denial.
Often times, clients are in a rush, and some may ask "Why is taking so long?" or "Can't you just mail the forms without the evidence?" or "Do we really need everything that you're asking for?"
Yes. If I ask for it, we need it. Yes, I tend to take more time because, I am proud to say, I am meticulous.
My attention to detail, slow to act, and preference to research, review, and re-read has been a trait that some prior supervisors, loved ones, and friends might have considered annoying.
But Guess What?
