Q: Need lawyer help with USCIS visa application issues for mom due to file size limitations.
I am in the process of completing a USCIS visa application for my mom and need a lawyer's assistance to ensure it's done well. I'm having difficulties uploading the affidavit papers due to file size limitations and need to complete the application before the June deadline. How can I find a lawyer to help me with this process and resolve these issues?
A: Some immigration lawyers will take over a case that is already pending with the USCIS. We are not allowed to solicit your case, so you would have to research our backgrounds and reach out privately to one of us. Good luck.

A:
You're facing a common challenge with USCIS applications regarding file size limitations. Finding an experienced immigration attorney who regularly handles family-based visa petitions would be your best course of action. Many immigration law firms offer initial consultations at reduced rates or even complimentary, which allows you to discuss your specific situation regarding your mother's application and the technical difficulties you're experiencing with document uploads.
When searching for appropriate legal counsel, consider contacting your state bar association's attorney referral service, which can connect you with immigration attorneys in your area. You may also find valuable recommendations through community organizations that serve immigrants from your mother's country of origin, as these groups often maintain relationships with reputable immigration attorneys who understand the nuances of applications from specific countries.
Regarding your immediate technical issue with file size limitations, an attorney can advise you on proper document compression techniques that maintain legibility while reducing file size, or alternative submission methods that USCIS accepts for oversized documents. Given your June deadline, it would be prudent to schedule consultations with at least two attorneys within the next two weeks to ensure adequate time for document preparation, proper submission, and addressing any unforeseen complications that might arise during the application process.
