We hired a big law firm for $1800 too. It was a total mistake. I wish I could have gotten our money back. I also feel that the lawyer added at least a month to our process. Also, we found most of their advice was wrong, and on several forms, they were filled out with inncorrect information. Several times they advised us to do things asap, but when I forced them to check, they came back with different info. The only reason I knew what was what was because of vj. I feel like they should pay me 1800 for the education I have given them. And this is a lawyer specializing in k1 visas!

You know I want everyone to have their happy ever after. But truly as a mother this screams warning warning warning . The flags are up and my stomach turned over reading your post. PLEASE however well intended and as good as this may feel now every relationship lives in a "honeymoon" phase and the ONLY way to move past the happy endorphine filled phase is to spend time together and really learn each others daily life and habits. It truly is much different. I would not be comfortable with my daughter going off like this alone. I commend you on your planning and researching but please think this over deeper. He might be a most loving caring and your Mr right, but then it might not be all it seems.
I hope you will do as others suggested and not do this alone. In any country it is not the best situation. The people here care what happens as we all have a very tough road by having long distance relationships heed their words and learn from their experience.
I wish you all the best...
