Hi there

Just getting started on my K3 visa journey. I'm thinking that a consultation with a specialist K3 visa attorney may be advisable. Can anybody recommend a good attorney in Colorado, or even further afield. Also if there are any attorneys that I should avoid. I'm sure I'll be back looking for more advice, but that's it for now.

Thanks

honestly unless the immigrant spouse has a criminal record, I would guess that most members here would say you don't need a lawyer.

Maybe consult with one sure, but no need to use one for the entire process. I can think of more cases where they hindered, rather than helped.

divorced - April 2010 moved back to Ontario May 2010 and surrendered green card

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!

I agree with Reba unless criminal background or special circumstances... unnecessary attorney fees will pile up. Please check the guides here as well! I think you will find tons more help here than chasing your lawyer.

Good luck

I socially know an immigration lawyer in Colorado, I doubt if there are any that specialise in K3 per se, it is a minor area of the immigration field and one of the less lucrative.

Hi there

Thanks for the input. It sounds like I should put some time in on visajourney, and use the forum, when I get stuck. Very encouraging to find this site, as the government site and 'helpline' is confusing, and often contradictory. Thanks again. No doubt you'll be hearing more from me. Bye...

You don't need a lawyer for K-1, K-3 and IR-1. Lawyers can not expedite anything, but they won't forget the money. Check the application fee, all forms for correctness before you send them to USCIS. This website is full of resources with sample application forms as well. Should there be any questions, you can ask here.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

Hi there!

well, if you still needed to speak with someone, I know I have spoke to Kim Salinas many times and she was great help. She is an immigration lawyer in Denver/Fort Collins in Colorado. She had given me some free consultation on the phone. But I haven't used her in my K3 process. I would call her when I was out in Colorado and we weren't sure which process we wanted to take.

You can always give her a call!
