Damn! we paid $995 for olvis and that doesn't even include the fees for processing! :angry::angry::angry:

While self interest for sure comes into play on my part, the fee's listed there aren't all that far off from what a number of attorney's charge for a full K1. While many atty's are 1500.00+++ there are those out there that range from 400-600/bucks. Just an FYI....also, you do file a I-129"F" as part of the application for a K3 visa. Cheers to all of you and good luck.

I have heard of people finding attorneys for around 500.00 as well. It seems local attorneys are cheaper than the ones you pay on the net. However, at the time I called CC for advice and a possible referral, I had already planned on paying whatever it took, and money was not a deciding factor. I was surprised to find out that they had 4 liscensed "Immigration" attorneys on staff. Make no mistake, having your papers done through CC is having them done by a liscensed immigration attorney. Based on what I know and have seen and experienced through this agency, I knew that they move more immigrants into this country in a years time than any other single agency or legal firm. Also, their day in day out job, is working with immigration and the hang ups of it. "Experience" not cost was my reason for going with them, I set out to find the best, most experienced, legal assistance I could, and feel I did. I would gladly have paid them the 1800.00 that the other attorney I had liked was going to charge.

As for "Costs"... I went to my first appointment clueless as to what I would pay, it made no difference, The attorney sat down with me, looked at all my evidence, picked through my album and selected the photos she felt would best benefit our case, copied all the travel tickets and stubs, filled in all my papers, I-129F, G325A, Fiance letter of intent, Cover Letter etc... added my sweeties papers we had already done in his country with his sigs, took photos of me (we already had his) and spent a total of about 2 hours with me, arranging our case, and prepping me for what to expect. She charged me a total inal bill of $250.00 plus I had brought a money order for the USCIS filing fee of $170.00. I stop in her office all the time while doing work with her associates, and she gladly invites me in, updates me on any changes in the process that may affect us, chats for a bit, answers questions, and has never charged me again. She even compiled a list for my fiance with names and addresses of the nearest mosques, and various moroccan communities in our city so I can contact them ahead of time and become familiar with them before his arrival. They also offer free english courses that he can enroll in when he arrives and job assessment, placing, training programs as well. I just don't feel I would have received this type of support and personal attention to my fiances needs through any other immigration attorney.
