ARE ALL ATTORNEYS CREATED EQUAL?

Heeeeell no! Immigration law is NOT an easy practice. Do yourself a BIG favor by carefully selecting legal counsel with experience in immigration-specific work. The American Immigration Lawyers Association is a good start. We cannot stress enough how important this choice is. There are some pretty poor practitioners in the immigration law "world". Also, we recommend that you avoid non-attorney "immigration assistance services", "translators" that claim to know the immigration system, etc.
