Rapid visa?

I personally think the only reason you would need an attorney is for complicated cases such as past overstays and criminal histories, etc...you can do this completely on your own just use your resources which are unlimited with google. We had to wait for my fiance divorce to become final which took almost two years so we both became pretty knowledgeable on the K1. I did everything on my own while at work and triple checked myself. I'm sure you will be fine. Best of luck!

And it's all pretty much moot in the OP's case as he is not applying for a visa but adjusting status.

I have hired a visa service AND did all the research myself here. The outcome should be an excellent petition as the service has contributed its experience and I added what I learned here. To be honest, the service made some terrible mistakes and would have messed up our petition - up to a level of rejection - If we did not check and improve it. Lesson learned is: You may use any of those services , if you can afford it easily without pain, but you need to still check everything yourself.

This is what I did, and my case went without any hiccups at all. I used a website called "Filipinafianceevisa.com," basically you log in and input all your info and they generate the I-130 for you to print out. They also have an inbox you can submit questions to, but I'd put more faith in the veterans at VisaJourney than anything else. 

 

On top of that, I also spent hours vetting information to make sure I did not make any omissions or errors. I probably ended up providing way more documents to the NVC than they actually needed, but whenever there is the tiniest shred of doubt, send it anyway. It'll just end up in a shred pile if it isn't needed, but if you neglect to send something they do need you set yourself back a couple of months.
