Dear Amar,

I advise you to follow the guides on VJ ...http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide

As for timing, it will depend on which visa center you will depend on and how busy they might be. There is an average time of 6 months before an adjucator can approve your petition.

Also have a look in the regional forum to see how the interview process goes in India

Good luck on your journey!

If your going to do this alone, you have got to read the "manual" (ie. guides and form instructions).

YMMV

Your US passport is sufficient. You should include a copy of every page, including the covers. If you're a naturalized citizen then you could, alternatively, provide a copy (both sides) of your certificate of naturalization.

If you want to hire a lawyer, hire a lawyer; however, this process can easily (well - maybe that's not the right word) be done yourself. VisaJourney is a great resource.

With a little bit of reading and research on this web site, you will be fine.

I have last question i have all the documents ready does i need to hire attorney or lawyer for file the petition because i am scared to file the petition by my self.

through my parents

Ok. There are two boxes on question 10 where a certificate number could be entered. The first box is for people who are naturalized citizens, and they would enter their Certificate of Naturalization number there. The second box is for people who acquired citizenship through their parents (like you), and have obtained a Certificate of Citizenship. You didn't get a Certificate of Citizenship, so you check the "No" box, and leave the certificate number box empty.

If you can read and follow instructions carefully then you don't need a lawyer.
