Gratitude for Support and Seeking Legal Assistance for I-130 Process

[Reynal2m 6]

Dear VJ Forum Members,

 

I hope this message finds you all in good spirits.

 

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your invaluable support and assistance throughout our I-130 journey. Your insights, advice, and shared experiences have been immensely helpful, and I am truly grateful for the sense of community and camaraderie we have here.

 

As we move forward in this process, I find myself in need of some professional guidance. I am currently seeking recommendations for a lawyer who is experienced in immigration matters and can offer their services to review our I-130 petition before we submit it. If any of you have had positive experiences with such legal professionals or have any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate your input.

 

Once again, thank you all for your continued support and assistance. Together, we can navigate this journey with confidence and resilience.

 

Warm regards,

Reynaldo & Renzo

What is wrong with trying to help someone?  Why do you have to come at me like that? 
It isnt the first time.

Boiler’s comment was referring to a VJ member who has made many appearances on Hacking’s show.

 

Jeez, chill.

@Reynal2m most lawyers and form preparers want to take on the entire case. They aren’t interested in just reviewing the forms and they will have to double check and confirm the information you inputted which means it will take as much work as just reviewing the form. 
Your partner could probably find a free service in their city to double check the submission. 
Hacking does not review forms on his YouTube show though. So I would not call in to double check your answers are correct. 
 

ETA: Usually what happens with lawyers and form preparers is that you provide them the information, they complete the forms and put together the package then YOU review the final package for accuracy/ any mistakes.

If you're just looking for some assistance, nonprofits that help immigrants might be able to help. Sometimes they work with pro bono lawyers and offer that kind of review/help for free. Usually large urban areas have such resources.
