We did a consult with a lawyer, and Jerry wasn't satisfied with the lawyer's attitude and answers (and price!), so we did it ourselves. After we filed the I-129f, we found VJ and it was invaluable in helping us out with the rest of the process. We filled out the forms together.

I did them all myself. All he did was give me the info.

And now, three years later, I find out that he gave me the wrong birthdates for his parents for the G-325A (for example, his mom's DOB is 10/13/50 and he told me 10/10/48). Hope that doesn't cause us any problems!

We did it all ourselves

the way we did it was filled in the forms scanned them send via msn to each other to make sure everything was correct and in the right place...took us a weekend to fully do it correctly but in the end we got it right...if he made mistakes on dates or in the wrong column i would send back the corect way to do it..when one form was correct it was set aside then onto the next forms..

for my AOS i filled in the forms and he triple checked them for me

and we got approved quickly on the K1 and the AOS so were happy we did it that way..
