Hi all we are looking for information to apply k1 visa .

we met each other once this year after 6 months of talking online and going back to jamaica in august and decided we want to start k1 visa.

I printed out the I-129f form and G-325A but want to make sure we get it right.

She wants to get an lawyer but I'm not sure if its that complicated?

I have been divorced no kids she hasn't been married. She has an 2 year old.

I work full time, she doesn't work, but is going to school for bartending and hotel services.

She lives with her family.

I know in the US they want to make sure she has strong ties at home.

We figured K1 would suit us better, because we do want to marry.

Anyone going through the process that can guide us?

Thanks for your time and replys

Who's the USC?

Check out the guides of K1 visa readily available on this website. They're really helpful to get you started. :guides:

There's the K1 sub-forum and also your regional sub-forum to check out for more information - and you can of course ask when you run into specific issues. You won't need a lawyer :-)

If it isn't difficult, it isn't worth it.

As you'll see from the guides, you need a lot more than the I129F, and among that are the G325A's for both of you.

If it isn't difficult, it isn't worth it.

Strong ties to the USA? The petitioner or someone should be an American citizen. There are income requirements to petition some one. There are also costs associated with petitioning a fiance. Time to do alot of reading and research.

Welcome Boston, I wish you best of luck and do not waste time or money on a lawyer.  Continue to talk to people here as your guidance and you will be fine.
