Pacifier, If you know that the application has to be reached on or before the date it supposed to be reached then it is becasue of you that someone's visa is screwed. Don't try to defend on you in this matter. It is a clear misrepresentation and client has the right to demand the fee that he/she paid for the law firm. I have similar situation in my LC filing with one of the indian lawyer located at Foerst Hills, NY (i am not goint to mention his name right now, you may see him on indian channel too). He did not know the prevailing wage and put the wrong salary. As a result, my LC almost got deined. I went through other issues with him too and for the final stage (i-485) i had to kick him out. I also did not pay him some amount and he was threatening me to proceed to court hearing for non payment. I am currently working with my HR personel and company lawyer on this matter.
