Should I hire an immigration lawyer??

[HoneyBoo-Boo 1]

FYI - I'm the woman from the U.S. petitioning for my fiance (MALE). Also, I've read all that's been posted under the K1 process links that Darnell has listed in his point deductions. I've read the I-129F instructions as well. After all that's said and done, attorney's been hired and that's what he told me about the lockbox #######. Done. Basically, I've been waiting which is now past the dang 7 months mark--hitting the 8 months mark on October 8th with NO response except the stupid B.S. script that the USCIS reps spit out at me every time I call. I'm aggravated as it is about everyone (including my parents) questioning my capability of completing the paperwork correctly, and really don't need any more sarcastic/hateful comments.

Thanks.

I meant to say 7 months mark on October 12th. This is what happens when stress/anger gets to you.

To the OP: Never mind the sarcasm and self-righteousness; everyone likes to be right.

It sounds like you did everything right! I am sorry your lawyer told you that you made a mistake by sending it courier; that put the blame on you but you didn't do anything wrong. Of course you're going to send something like that via courier, they are sensitive papers. It just depends on where you live, that's all. I am sure you will hear something any day. Best of luck to you and everyone else that has waited so long to hear something from VSC.

Thank you very much for your kind words, JensJrny2Ray. :-D

sorry, yer on a DIY web portal.

the anti-thesis of engaging with an attorney.

Truly, pick one or the other - having 'both' in tow can be very troublesome, as you start second-guessing

what you read here,

then what yer attorney tells you

then what you think you know

finally, in the end, you've turned yerself into a puddle of molten poo, trying to 'cover all of the bases' .

I wasn't questioning YOUR prior research, even though it seemed that I was.

Attorney engagement at the insistence of parents, plus 'all ethnic', is really a big kiss of death, when hanging round a DIY website.

So, I'll apologize to you if you took my comments to be sarcastic - I really do feel yer pain and wouldn't wish yer situation on my worst enemy..
