Visa Journey started today

[carolynhotstuff 252]

Hi to all,

I sent off our I-130 today and started our Visa journey. Anyone else mailing theirs this week good luck to you and wish me well also. I used an attorney through Catholic Charities immigration law clinic. Their fees are based on your income. It is an hours drive from my home but to get help with this process it is well worth the drive. My husband and I have 2 problems we needed to address. First there is a huge age difference and second I married him close to when I divorced my ex-husband. The lawyer advised us both to write letters describing our relationship, how we met, etc. We also sent pictures of us together during my first visit, wedding pictures that also include his family, phone bills, emails and letters from friends. I had friends come to my house at different times to meet and talk to him on the web cam. I was legally separated from my ex-husband for 3 years and I sent a copy of my Judgment of Separate Maintenance as proof along with the actual divorce papers.

Now that the I-130 is in the mail I can relax and let God do the rest.

I forgot to mention the lawyer feels that in our case it is very important that I go to his interview so I will be making my third trip to Pakistan when the time comes.

That all sounds good. And to my opinion - you don't need a lawyer anymore, you can finish the process yourself. As long as you have proof of your relationship and previous marriage ended a long time ago, you're fine. Save your money and time now and focus on the next step after approval - start gathering the documents you'll need to send to NVC after NOA2. Have a safe visa journey
