Newbie question

[kaibosh 3]

Just been looking threw the forums for a little while, I'm about to start the process of a K1 with my fiance, my question is, is it worth it to use one of these online companies, ie: http://www.easyfiancevisa.com/ or can it be done on your own? On their site they make it seem very difficult if you do it yourself.

Any info or input would be appreciated.

Thanks

This is a DIY site, lots of people do their cases on their ow (with the help of VJ of course is a bonus)

Take a look at the guides

In most cases you can do it on your own , of course we are here to help when you get totally confused. You can use a lawyer if you want but usually is not needed.

I recently filed my K-1 application for my fiance without a lawyer or pay websites. I considered it but decided to do it on my own. This website has been AMAZING. There are so many people here going through the process. The K-1 guide was useful because everything you need to do is literally mapped out. Anything from timelines, addresses, Proof, Notices, it's all here. The example forms, embassy info (I sound like a commercial). But it has worked for me. Just make sure to read all the fine print and double check everything.

best of luck

Everything you need to know to do it yourself can be found on VJ.

It's a big/long process but I found it to be pretty easy and fun.

Getting the paperwork and the forms together can be daunting, but you can definitely do it on your own...we initially hired a lawyer, but not only did they take their sweet time doing everything, they actually gave us incorrect advice, which set us back about 5 months.
