Question regarding hiring legal advice to support us during the K-1 Fiance Visa Process

Don't even bother with that nonsense. Unless you have a conplicated case, the K1 process is very much DIY. Good luck!

If you have a straightforward case there is no reason whatsoever to waste money on an attorney. You can easily DIY and more often than not an attorney slows down the process and you can look through previous threads and see the many, many examples of how they made simple mistakes, mistakes that could have been easily avoided. My husband and I had several red flags and we did it ourselves from start to finish all the way to citizenship without even so much as an RFE.

Thanks everyone, your answers have been of inmense help, and i really believe we have a pretty much straightforward case, our biggest reason to even "consider" hiring a lawer was because i read that the whole process JUST to get the visa could take from 4 months to a year depending on the case, and we really don't wanna wait another year to see each other and get married, as pretty much we've already planned how we want everything to go for the wedding and us , we just need the paperwork and visa to get me there, we'll definitely be following the guides and samples from previous cases here, or coming back if we get any questions or get "stuck" somewhere with the forms or process, thank you again everyone. Its also really comforting to hear that so many others have gone through this and achieved it without problems
