Would love to know if other Iranian K-1s used a lawyer or if you prepared your own petition packages? After lurking around all the FAQs and forums here, I'm sure I could prepare our petition, but was wondering if because of the political climate between the two countries, if it would be better to have legal representation. We meet all the basic requirements (financial support, met in person, proof of ongoing relationship, etc.) Also do you recommend the Ankara or Dubai consulate?
I have a phone consult with a lawyer tomorrow, but I'm very much on the fence as to whether or not I want us to spend the money on something I can do myself, but of course, having the process run smoothly and getting him to the US quickly is my priority.

Thanks for any input you may have!
