Hi Everyone!

My name is Jona, 26 yrs old, from the Philippines.

My fiance (from Arizona) will start processing K1 visa this week.

What's the best way to approach the fiancee visa process?

Should we attempt to handle the paperwork ourselves or should we get agents to assist us?

Thank you everyone!

As long as your case is straight forward and not complicated there is no reason to hire an attorney. Follow the guides at the top of this page and you will do fine. The majority of us have not used a lawyer. Good luck!!!

We hired a consultant. I think it really depends on the time you have. For us, the fee is worth it due to our hectic schedule. So far I'm very happy with them. If I had all the time in the world, I'd do it myself, but I have found that their review is worth it.

Good luck!

It is quite a simple, albeit lengthy process! Do it yourself if you feel you can, you will save money and possibly time :)

Hello,it would depends on you kase ako at yung fiance ko get decided to get an agent to file it for us ,cuz he was so busy at work pero parang natatagalan ako :( I have read alot of forums too and I think it's better if you will just do it by your own if you had time for it.
