Hey every one I am new to this site. I am trying to bring my fiancé here on a K1 visa from Chongqing and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good immigration attorney around the Seattle area, hopefully one that specializes in China.

Sorry cant say that i do, but thought i would ask, is your case fairly simple, or is an attorney really needed? If you do you own research, post threads on VJ, and discipline yourself to learn on your own, you should be fine. I am not saying this to change your mind, just thought i would open that window and maybe save you some money :) Perhaps someone from Seattle can help you out and good luck!

kylemeko,

Check AILA.org

Being a member of AILA doesn't mean you don't have to vet the attorney, but it is a positive start.

Stina,

Many people think that their case is fairly simple until something they never realized could be a problem bites them in the butt.

A consultation with an immigration attorney is always a good investment, if for no other reason than to confirm that one does indeed have a 'simple' case. (But, even simple cases can be made complicated if the USCIS or DoS makes an error.)

MrsW2B & Stina,

China is not Canada or the UK; it's a very different kettle of fish.

And remember immigration is FEDERAL - you don't have to use an attorney in your state if you don't mind communicating via email, phone and mail.

We used bchung@bccvisalaw.com. He is in California but telephones and emails quick response to questions you might have. Wonderful assistance. He speaks Chinese in case you need your spouse or fiancee to talk with him. Completes all info and submits promptly. We started in November of 2005 and now are on the long wait for packet 4 in Guangzhou.
