Today asked my lawyer about if cash checked, was told they are busy and I should call back after 8/17th. The point of asking now is to ensure it is properly filed before 8/17th. Last year, when I asked the 140 status, was told 140 belongs to your employer, I should not even ask.
And this is said to be the largest immigration law firm in the damn country. They only kiss HR's a** and doesn't give a damn about us.
