Would paying for an Immigration lawyer/attorney be worth our time? Would it help organize it and make sure the process is done correctly? Also, does it help speed up the wait?

If so, what immigration lawyer/attorneys do you recommend. How did they help you?

Thank you

Luke and Deanna

ATTENTION ALL VISA APPLICANTS!!!!!

If any of you are looking for a K1 or K3 visa attorney to help you with any forms etc, do not use the lawyer Calvin Knickerbocker of Sagaria law. I hired him as my visa lawyer and payed him $500, and he never completed my visa I had to do it myself. So he took $500 for nothing and wont pay me even part of that money back.

it's personal preference really. my fiance and I decided to hire a lawyer, and they have been very helpful to us. It was alot of money upfront for us, but well worth it. Like I said personal preference. You should do what you and your fiance feel the most comfortable with.

I have to agree with a lot of the other VJ contributors. I hired an immigration attorney to guide me through the correct process of filing the I-129F but could have done it all myself if I had known about all the information on the VJ website.

Attorneys are expensive and mine will charge for each stage of the immigration journey so I will be doing the rest on my own and saving the money for a plane ticket to see my sweetheart.
