Hello, Good day! I am new here, i dont know where and how to start browsing around the site. A friend of mine gave me the link. I just have some questions about starting K1 visa. Me and my fiance ( from US) were about to to start K1 visa process and he wants to send the application tomorrow. But after reading some infos online i end up browsing here again..Since he is going to send the application tomorrow, i wonder if theres any documents needed like my birth certificate, etc. or should we wait till we hear back froM them..

I am hoping that you could give me advices about this process? So that i can tell me fiance, He wanted to get a lawyer for easier and smooth process but i am the who suggest not to so that we can at least save some money for the whole process and spec. for tickets and fares soon..

Thank you very much for taking time reading this message and God Bless...

You need to send more than just the I-129F application. Here is a link to the guides make sure you follow these. If you have any other questions I will be more than happy to answer more specific questions. I as well as a lot of other vj members haven't used a lawyer. Personally I find it to be a waste of money to hire them now.

As what Bumbero and Lalo & Susana said, just go through with the guidelines and flowchart and you will be alright. Unless you have a complicated case to begin with then you need a lawyer. If not, you and your fiance can do this on your own.

He won't need your Birth Certificate as of yet. You'll need to send original copy and ink signed of G-325A and Letter of Intent. If you were once married in the Philippines then you would need the annotated Marriage Certificate from NSO and the finality from court with the petition.

Good luck on your journey!
