No. Government processing is not affected by whether an applicant has a lawyer. However, an experienced immigration lawyer knows when a case is taking longer than it should, and who to call to get the case “back on track.” Also, an experienced lawyer knows what cases can qualify for expedited government processing, and how to request it when appropriate.
