Is it a good idea to hire a lawyer or professional visa service to help file the K-1 & K-2 visa , or is it easy enough to do by myself?

This is a self-help site. Most people here used the Guides at the top to do everything.

I would hire a Visa Prep company instead of a lawyer. I think they charge around $400 to $500 and a lawyer around $2,500. Just a guess.

If you just don't want to mess with filing out paperwork, But basically it easy and has step by step instruction here and you can always get answers here.

IF you hire an outside agency then you will do about 90% of the work, all they will do is fill in the blank and assemble and mail it for you.

Good Luck....

If you have an uncomplicated immigration case, possess good reading & comprehension skills, a couple can do this process on their own, and do not require the services of an attorney.

YMMV,

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Its your choice to hire one. Our reason, to make everthing clear and complete. With our busy schedule let say, we cant do research on every stuff needed with all the processing. Good luck on ur journey. :)

If you can fill out a few forms you can do this yourself. Somethings you may need a little guidance on, but you can get that here.
