Hello VJ members,

My fiance in US will do some filing for k1 and k2, any advise of what to do on this visa since some of VJ members advise me not to get a lawyer on my last topic to save money which is great, and thanks for that VJ members.

My fiance will visit me nextyr, is he will bring some of the requirements needed for filing on the k1and k2 on his visit? the forms needed on fiance visa and others? What are those? And where he can file when he'll returnback to US? Any advise also for a faster USCIS service center to do our application?

Please help us VJ members on this matter for those who already finished their own and the one who already done this things, please help..

Thank you. God bless us all

You have to FULLY read the directions for all required information and documentation. The instructions will give you the address of the filing center, based on your location, not on your preference. One argument FOR an attorney is if you're not a detailed person, Overlooking items will delay processing. If children are involved (K2) more legal documentation will likely be required regarding a father with custody of children. The K2 and Nikah are factors you didn't bring up in your initial questioning of needing a lawyer for just the K1. I think it would be best to consult a lawyer FIRST for advice, considering those additional factors. Usually, most initial consultations are free. Also, there is no quicker way to complete the visa process, so patience needs to be in full force!

Thanks for the response VadnVince. Well as for the custodial part on my son, i think theres no problem on it since we were not married of his father,he just acknowledged our son after i gave birth. On his birthcertificate,he sign for it. If needed a permission though we're not married, I will provide ahead of time so that if the USEM in manila needed it,i can show them. For the nikah, We already talked bout it not to do only after our civil wedding in the US inshaallah then I'll come back on my country to plan for the wedding. Is this not a problem that after I finished all docs in US,ill return back to phils with my husband to hve our wedding ceremony there? we will have nstead our engagement..

thank u
