Get another lawyer.

No reason to do the K-3 when you already in line for a CR-1. The CR-1 is much better than a K-3. The CR-1 is an automatic green card upon entering the US vs. a K-3 which requires an Adjustment if Status. Also, the K-3 will be ignored since its well behind the CR-1.

The only reason for a K-3 is so the lawyer can charge you. Fire him.

This lawyer obviously has no idea what he's doing or is trying to milk you for all you're worth. Honestly, unless you have some problem that could complicated your visa petition (a waiver, or something like that), I would do some research here on VJ and just go through the process by yourself. There's lots of support here on VJ, and people willing to answer all your questions. In normal cases, lawyers are unnecessary.

Nabil, it is true. Your lawyer is just after your money.

A K-3 is of no benefit to you, it is not needed in the CR1 process. As you know I am a bit familiar with your background and case and there was nothing there that warrants spending extra time and money (on the lawyers extra time to do this), especially where you are at in the process.

If you are more comfortable with a lawyer as some people are, I agree with the suggestion to find a new one.
