I have read the i129F instructions and from what you guys are saying, it's not needed for me or my fiance to mention that we're blind. I have no idea why both attorneys that i talked about told me that we need documents stating that we're blind.

Welcome to the forum.

 

Most of us here have done the process without an attorney but we also put a lot of time into research to file correctly.

 

While relationship evidence can be beneficial for certain applicants who will be going through what we call “tough consulates”, it is not what the I-129f will be adjudicated upon. It’s the evidence of physically meeting within the last 2 years before filing the petition. To clarify, you did meet in April in person and if so, can you present evidence of that such as boarding passes and passport stamps? 

 

The best thing to do is familiarize yourself with the instruction to I-129f, it’s a separate document and can be found on USCIS.gov.

Thank you for your response. We do have photos, stamps, tickets and hotel reservations. In a lot of the guides it's mentioned that call logs and emails are also required, though perhaps as not important as the evidence that we've met.

Since I do not know how well those reading softwares are at being accurate. You can always test them out using the guides here on VisaJourney and having someone you can trust go over the forms and see if they match to what the software says. 

 

The other option is to use a service rather than a lawyer. Visajourney has a list of affiliates under the tab Ask a Pro. 

One worry that i have with these services, is that they might put us on some sort of a queue and do the process on our behalf at a slow pase, but perhaps i should consider them. Can we trust them with our documents?

Hello

I would like this community to give me some advice whether I should hire an Attorney or not.

We do have a little bit of a special situation so that's what's has me a little bit concerned.

We're both totally blind, but we are able to work with computers with screen reading software. I live in Iran and my girlfriend lives in the US.

We've been online dating since a year ago and we've met each other, outside of the US, on April of this year, 2023.

We do have thousands of voice messages in between us and some text messages in between, and many many call logs on whatsapp and discord, but i am unsure about how to provide this sort of evidence when  preparing our i129f package. I am also not sure if we're supposed to let them know if we're blind so the interviewer is aware.

I've been looking up attorney prices and they cost around 2000-4000 dollars, just for the k1 visa process, excluding   government fees. This will add up to my expenses of travelling to turkey or the UAE for my interview  and it's going to be very expensive for me.

Please let me know if you have any advice for us

Cheers
