Immigration Attorney. Thoughts?

[amu123 0]

Hey all,

I've been getting great advice for the K1 // CR1 visa process, thanks!

Now I'm starting to look at maybe having an immigration attorney to help process paper work.

Just spoke with Lawrence R. Holmes ( http://www.kvisas.com/ ) and everything seems to be good.

My question is has anyone else ever used the services of an immigration attorney?

Any one that you might refer? Any thoughts on the above mentioned attorney?

Big thanks!!

We used with that firm. I liked their way of working, but if you are offered the paralegal who would be doing your paperwork escape Trang, she's super slow and goes to vacation a few times per year

As long as your case doesn't have any complications like criminal histories involved then you have no need to use an immigration attorney, just follow the appropriate guide - http://www.visajourney.com/content/guides and read the instructions for each required USCIS form, it really isn't that complex.

This is a DIY site, not many will recommend using an attorney. As long as you case is straightforward an attorney is a waste of making and can delay the process.

lawyers are useless. don't waste your money.

I used an attorney only because we anticipated a complication with our case. If your case is straightforward, you can do everything yourself and save a few thousand dollars.

The only time I would recommend an attorney is if you're like me and can get a lawyer for personal things through your work for a couple hundred dollars a year. Even then, I would just use one as a spot check, and submit everything myself. Lawyers don't have much in the way of a vested interest, and nowhere near the sense of urgency with getting things done that you will.

Save yourself the money you'll need to pay for AOS down the road and do it yourself. Have a legit relationship, read the guides, be patient and don't stress.
