Was this question discussed exhustively earlier today or earlier in the week if my memory serves me right? But anyhow, I wouldn't take the advice on this forum as sacrosanct - it's best to listen to advice on here carefully and make a good decision out of what you hear or read.

That said, regarding your situation, you will be better served by consulting with a lawyer. You can still shop around and get a good lawyer for less than the 2grand figure you quoted. Remember, if one is NOT a lawyer, they cannot provide you with precise advise on a specific legal issue involving an immigration process. That's a no-go area for non-expert(s).

Seek a person with the requisite expertise and you will be glad you did in the end!

Good luck to you both!

He needs to come on here and read the IMBRA forum. If you love this man and you really want to overlook his past, I highly suggest that you pursue a CR1 instead of a K1. This way if something goes w

Hi Novel. First, if you submit the petition in December (this month) you are unlikely to get it approved/denied for about 6 months (sometimes longer, very occasionally earlier) so you would not get

You have posted multiple times, in more than one thread, asking the same question. You have been given the best advice in order for you to succeed. You need to have him consult an experienced attorney.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Thank you..

today he has called attorneys and the attorney said the cost will be 2000 dollars. wow he doesnt enough for paying.

what should we do know? keep to continue the visa k1? or what?

He should continue contacting other attorneys. If he's balking at the price (and it may not get any less expensive), then that should be of concern to you. As Nola recommended, the I-130 option may be better because you'll have an "out." There are plenty of cases in the Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits forum who have found themselves in bad situations with few options. Think carefully on how -- and if you want -- to proceed.

Part One: The K-1 Visa Journey:

USCIS Receipt of I-129F: January 24, 2012 | Petition Approval: June 15, 2012 (No RFEs)
Interview: October 24, 2012 - Review | Visa Delivered: October 31, 2012



Part Two: Entry and Adjusting Status:

POE: November 18, 2012 (at SFO) - Review
Wedding: December 1, 2012 | Social Security: New cards received on December 7, 2012.
AOS Package (I-485/I-765/I-131) NOA1: February 19, 2013 | Biometrics Appt.: March 18, 2013
AP/EAD Approved: April 29, 2013 | Card Received: May 6, 2013 | AOS Interview Appt.: May 16, 2013 - Approved Review Card Received: May 24, 2013

Part Three: Removal of Conditions:

Coming Soon...

Novel,

Here is an IMBRA forum thread you should read and why posters recommended the CR-1 route instead of K-1.
