i need your advice

[STEPHnRIA 2]

good morning everyone

i was reading some topics here in vj about k1 visa and i really got shocked

well me and my queen will hire an immigration lawyer to file for k1 visa

i tried many times to tell my queen that we can do that and we don't need to hire any lawyers

but while she is so worried girl and she says she can not do that by her own i agreed with her

so when i was reading some topics i found someone here in vj got problems with an immigration lawyer

after he sent a package of documents and many pictures ......to the lawyer and paid the attorney fees all communications from the lawyer have stopped. He doesn't answer emails, messages and he doesn't answer the phone calls.

my fiancée lives in North Carolina and we will hire an immigration lawyer from Massachusetts and she will not meet him in person . we will just send our documents to him and we will pay to him by credit card or money order ...

i have been thinking maybe we can him to send us a copy of his license or his ID

we checked his name in yellow page and stuff like that and we talked to him several times and he sound so good man

so my question is how can we make sure he is a good lawyer and he wont do the same to us???!!

i will appreciate your advice

have a nice blessed weekend

Hi! My fiancee and I decided to get a lawyer since immigration laws and the rules especially in US Embassy Manila change a lot. We looked in the net for lawyers but in the end, a friend recommended this lawyer in New York city. I met him personally during my visit in the US and for me, I want to work with someone whom I have talked and seen in person. He is a very competent lawyer that when I got home here in Philippines, he would always answer my quesions thru e-mails aside from doing his best to make me and my fiancee calm.

I know my fellow vjs are very supportive, after all we are all in the same boat. But they too have a life, that after going through the process they have to move on with their lives. And what happens to the ones left behind? I think every case is different. What works for someone else does not mean it will work for you. After all, we dont know exactly who is looking at our papers. My point is, if you think a lawyer can help you, then hire one. After all, there are other things to take good care of... like your relationship to your fiancee. =)
