Is the process easy, or will i need to to pay someone to do it for me? i eman getting a k3 visa for my wife.

You can do it yourself. But I would do the CR1 instead of the K3

[New Beginnings 32]

You can definitely do it yourself, just make sure to read the guides. CR1 will be better than K3

[island_princess 2]

Very easy. Just follow the K-3 guideline as a start and read this forum regularly. You'll be fine.

[TBoneTX 45,267]

The "you can do it - you'll be fine" responses are not necessarily accurate. Can the OP read accurately, interpret literally, and answer completely? What are the details of his case -- completely straightforward, or with potential or actual wrinkles or red flags? Without knowing these facts, it is very irresponsible to answer as previous posters have answered.

TBone offers good guidance. If you do some research (here on VJ and/or elsewhere) and feel that your case is straightforward, and you want to do it yourself, then yes you can do it yourself with the collective wisdom of the group here.

If you see some serious challenges in your situation you should have a consultation visit with a QUALIFIED immigration attorney to assess your options.

If the OP does not comprehend English, I am sure the USC can. Besides the guide is written in simple English words.

[TBoneTX 45,267]

The OP apparently IS the USC, because he asks about "a K-3 visa for my wife." (Please read accurately and interpret literally.) Also, please see the typos in the title of the thread, and the one in his post -- all simple English words. If this carelessness or lack of attention were to carry over to his attempted completion of the K-3 documents and assembly of the package by himself, he'd be in trouble with it.

Geeez, your heart.

Tbone is right. Everyone along the way has made mistakes for us. Especially on the Thailand side. My wife's family name spelled two different ways in the same sentence on a certified translated document, and four different ways on the same family's ID cards. If the OP can't initially post here with basic spelling then he may not catch the careless errors of others, including a spouse's errors.

It seems we're free to marry who we wish in the land of the free... IF we can jump through spinning hoops like a circus dog!~

A lawyer will make mistakes too, however, and any problems may mean you run out of funds and have to take it over anyway.

I'd suggest doing it yourself if it's straight forward and documents are easy to gather and official. And read the guides read the guides read the guides ... ad infinitum

I would do it all yourself if its a simple case.

Also MENA4LIFE a reminder to keep from telling people which visa to go for, its good to adv to go over the K3 and the CR1 and decide for yourself what is the best. What is best for some is not always best for others.

Do I have cardiac problems?

If you are an average person and can fill out the 1040A tax form or other government forms with out too much problems then you can do it.

As for writing errors on this site I see them all the time and these people are doing it. I filled mine out had no RFE's asked very few questions and all was approved with out any hitch. So yes most people can do it thier selves . If you have leagal problems I would sugegest at least consulting a lawyer.

What I have seen with the lawyers is they charge you ( alot of money) to fill out the forms make the same or worse errors and you have to pay for it. THey charge you for some thing that you can do mostly your self. Most of the forms can be filled out in the matter of minutes. Its the info gathering that takes the time.
