[quote=BALANCE,256546] The folks on this site seem pretty knowledgeable about these matters. I have a couple of K-1 visa questions I am trying to sort out. Any opinions of the necessity or usefulness of hiring a lawyer or other professional services to help with the paperwork (for a K-1 visa)? I've seen some lawyer web sites that stress folks who have made mistakes in their application process and how this made their lives miserable, but I don't know if this is a rare occurrence used to promote their business. From posts here, it sounds like the U.S govt. is making this process ever more difficult. The expenses involved, just the travel alone, can be a bit daunting. I am pretty detail oriented, so I feel like I can probably handle it, but I don't want to risk us not being together to save some money, if a lawyer or service is something that I likely need for the process to be successful. Another question I am grappling with is when to submit the I-129F form. I am going to China for my second visit with my lovely intended in January '08.(my first visit, where I met her was in Oct. '07). Should I wait until after my second visit to submit it, when I'll have more proof of a serious ongoing relationship? I want to maximize the chances of the form being accepted, but I also don't want to delay the process unnecessarily, and have to wait that much longer to be together. Thanks in advance for any input.
