You may or may not need a lawyer, but in today's world, the help you need doesn't depend on the location of the person helping.  You say "husband".  Are you already married?

[Pyke 3]

Yes we already married

An attorney will not guarantee no mistakes.  Our attorney made a mistake and cost us an extra 12 weeks..........Even with an attorney, YOU will do all the legwork.

This is a complicated process that depends on information YOU and your spouse provide to any professional helping you.  Start by clicking on the work "Guides" at the top of any page here, then become an A-Student of the I-130 and its separate instructions document.  If you think  you need professional help after doing that, you are probably right.

Have a good look at the step by step guide here and the forms involved, then see if you still think you need a lawyer to help. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html

Hello everyone ,I would like to know the steps I can follow to file for my husband who is in ghana and also I would like to know if I should use a lawyer or do it myself ….. also please I would like to know the first forms to file and how to make the payment online please . I would like to do everything online since the online is faster than mailing . Please help 

[Dashinka 26,332]

I would start by studying the guide (linked below).  Whether you use a lawyer or not is up to you, but if you are a fairly organized person, comfortable with getting the evidence needed for the forms, able to fill out the forms, and do not have a case involving any past legal issues, you probably do not need a lawyer, but that is completely up to you.  The community at VJ will be happy to help you answer specific questions as you go through the process if you decide to do it yourself.

 

Good Luck!

Thank you very much

you can consult with lawyer and check the fees 

but truth is 

you provide all documents and all the attorney office does is file online

their work is then done /they do not represent you during interview

you are responsible for what the office submits

common mistakes attorney offices from foreign documents 

ghana writes last name first / secretary may type this wrong by not converting surname and given name

ghana writes day then month on birth certificate and again typist may not convert to month /day

secretarys do not include all children and its hard to petition them later if the name is not on original I 130   / all children even grown ones must be listed  on the I 130

 

there are stories on here if you search in the search box above of members who had issues with attorneys 

 

BTW if he has any children to immigrate ,  they need their own  I 130 with all fees as required

 

please when you submit the I 130 (do it onine) , complete a timeline on your profile and Id country with a flag as this helps later when you have questions so we can reference the info

the very best to you 2

You right cus we tried to go with a lawyer who made a lot of mistakes with our marriage date and a lot of information we provided so we decided to cancel the petition and take our money and do it ourselves
