$ 7000 is a lot..

The good news is that you can write your waiver yourself and the approval rate in Mexico is 90 %!

We used Laurel Scott and our waiver was denied.. so there is no guarantee.

If you have not visited the website yet, you should.

There are a lot of members who are going through Mexico and most of them, don't use a lawyer.

Good luck to you!

I would agree with what Butterfly is saying, $7000 for a waiver!!!!! Forget it! :no:

the most important thing about a "good" waiver is preparation and construction, definately go to immigrate2us.net, read through the examples of approved waivers, that's all you need! and that's what we did. All the sucessful waivers I've read never paid one cent to an immigration lawyer

do not waste any money on that!

My waiver did not go through Mexico, Hubby and I prepared the waiver packet our selves and we got approved. I did do alot of research and I found out most people do it themselves. It's worth a shot if u get denied u can always hire a lawyer for the appeal.
