[Purple Ma 0]

a new york one..

i dont want to use her again

we are awaiting noa2

an dhave paid 1900 dollar for this, supposed to include everything till visa issuance

but dnet have confidence with the work they do due to so mauch delays and mistakes

they are better at helping people with AOS..

i believe, thats what our friends in NY had use dher for and they had no problems

no iam sceptical to use her for th erest of th eprocess in case of mistakes..etc...

but have contacted another one who seems very professional and good, only thing is i need to pay 1000 dollar again for the rest of the process, but they work properly

maybe we could also do it on our own for sure

we have 2 co sponsors

i would like to save the money as much comes later again--- to pay for...LOL

i also need to get my son his k2 visa

you know th elawyer is ok, but i think now we hav reahe dthe need for another one or none just do it yourself

You guys can do it yourselves. Just read the guides here on VJ and then ask any questions if you get stuck on something.

By the way, you said you have 2 co-sponsors. You can only have one co-sponsor for the K-1, so you will need to pick one that covers the 125% poverty level for a household size comprised of themselves and their dependents plus you and your son.

The requirement for evidence of citizenship when using a passport, is to send all pages. There's no reason to expedite processing of an RFE response because they usually deal with them within a week or so anyway. Sounds like you hired an immigration attorney that does few if any family based cases. Most immigration attorneys deal with non family issues.

Thanks for your reply and help! Yes, I think the lawyer does not deal with many K visas... she deals more with cases inside the US...people who have been there illegally etc.

Hopefully the RFE will be looked at quickly!!!

Crossed fingers for that!

Thanks for thsi great community!!!

For a K-1 your fiance will be using the I-134 affidavit of support form. You can only use one co-sponsor with that. After you are married and you file for adjustment of status, he will fill out the I-864 affidavit of support form. That one can have more than one co-sponsor; for example using the combined incomes and/or assets of a married couple, or by adding the income of others with yours that you share a residence with such as parents, adult children or siblings.

You do not need a lawyer for ANY of the process. You are still wondering about that? In this process, from petition to citizenship, there is nothing a lawyer CAN do. From start to finish this is a metter of completing forms and providing evidence only YOU have. For a lawyer to do anything you have to give them all the information and evidence to attach. The only thing they can do is enter info you give them in the forms and make copies.

You can only use ONE co-sponsor for the VISA. You can use more than one (witnin limitations) for the AOS which comes after you are married. You can present as many co-sponsors as you want but they will only use ONE. They do not combine incomes. ONE person must have enough to meet the income requirements. Choose one.

You may be correct Pushbrk.

Whatever happened to people who said "Let me get back to you" and then went and looked up the correct answer? When did making up answers replace looking up answers? I mean these are professionals right? If I was worng this much at my job I would be fired.

How many times TODAY can we count posts where VJ members get wrong information from USCIS, NVC, Social Security (biggest offenders!) DMV etc. It seems endless. Clerks spouting out BS to clients and it is all OK? And the client/custmer walks away and thinks "guess I can't do that"

At the root of it is uninformed clients that have no clue except to follow bad advice from people they trust...and that seems OK also, to be uninformed.

Very strange.

This is a process that one is doing for one's wife to be or family to be. Your SO in life is counting on you, depending on you to make good decisions. People need to study this stuff, it is a huge part of your life for about 4 years, during the first part of a marriage, like that isn't stressful enough already !!! These people, your wife and children, should be the number 1 priority in life and I will be damned if some bubble brain clerk is going to make my wife's life and my children's life more difficult because they are stupid. Ignorant is not knowing, stupid is not knowing and proceeding anyway!

See bold above. "Can" do it yourself and "will carefully study and learn how to do it yourself" are two different things. Some people don't have the aptitude, attitude, confidence, time or any number of other needed talents or dedication to do it themselves, so they hire people to help them. Unfortunately, many people hire the wrong help.

Filling out forms is important but knowing which forms, which supporting information and how to put it all together are all critical too. We see enough people come through here who have language issues, or so little life experience they don't have a clue what a certified copy is or how to get one, much less how to carefully study instructions and follow them.

Neither an attorney or any other kind of professional help is REQUIRED to file a petition or manage the immigration process, but many folks are wise to seek professional help, for many different reasons. "Not required" is not the same as "You don't need..."

Thanks for all good words and help...

yes, sometimes we hore the "wrong" help and we dicover later and find out we could have done it better on our own.. BUT; there are really good immigration lawyers out there---- for those who feel they need one, who feel that they need advie and good assistance...

all is possible to do on our own, esp. if here are no complications.......we just need to be proepely informed and do it all properly and trust! At least we klook over th epapers ourself and we save money as well! Peace and blessings with you!
