[Kevinxo02 1]

Hey everybody I'm new here.  Im in the us military, deployed to poland and i met the love of my life. We've been together 5 months now, we're engaged and now considering a k1 visa. Any tips or suggestions?  Should i hire a lawyer? Appreciate all the help.

Hiring counsel is a personal choice.  VJ is a DIY website and most everyone here is doing it without.

 

Top of any page, go the the guides and read!!!  Then decide

You will not need a lawyer

K1 is pretty straight forward and easy to do the paperwork 

good luck

Me and my fiance also met in Poland, we filled petition by ourselves, no problems so far, petition approved, no request for evidence, waiting for the case to reach US Embassy in Poland for interview. You can fill petition by youself guys, save lawyer money for Green Card expenses, plane tickets or anything else you will need during immigration procces, is not cheap good luck!

Take time to review this website.  Click on each tab and read.  I spent 2 months researching prior to completing paperwork and applying.  With some simple organization and paperwork completion you should be able to handle it yourself as many many others do.  Read, research, and use this website.  It is very helpful.

Thank you all, almost done with the packet. Just waiting to get a printer since I'm in the middle of a forest in Toruń.

I'm a newbie here so I don't have much knowledge but I've heard it goes faster on a K-3. How long are you in Poland? Maybe it would be worth it getting married here first...
Best of luck!

[LionessDeon 2,060]

K3 is obsolete.

Oh wow you sure do move around a lot, it must be sometimes a bit challenging but love will always prevail! 

Well I wish you all the luck in all of your endeavours!
