I Need K-1 visa help
I'm just getting started trying to bring my new fiancee to the USA from
Belarus... we've been reading, starting to fill out forms, and learning, and
I think my best chance to make it through the paperwork fast/success is with
experienced help all the way through the interview. I would like to fit in
the 60-90 day timeframe for bringing her here. Any suggestions for lawyers
or other experienced help? My fiancee, Ludmila, speaks fair English.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Re: I Need K-1 visa help
you don't need any help to fill the papers out,.. just pay attention to
detail,...
don't think there is any way possible to fit into the 60-90 day timeline,..
ESPECIALLY from Belarus.
(um,..like,..the world trade center/,..9/11/2001,.. there are new security
checks in place now,..?)
I was approved thru the Texas service center, my Estonian fiancee has
completed her Consulate interview in Helsinki, Finland,.(9/20/02)
Now,..we are waiting for the completion of the post-interview security
checks which will take at least 6-8 weeks alone,.. (gotta make sure my 24
yr.old eastern orthodox lady/her 3 yr old son are not suicide bombers,..?)
good luck fitting your whole process into 60-90 days,..you are living i the
past,..(smile)

From me experience I could tell you to find a good immigration layer in your area to help you get through the initial petition.
As for the 60-90 days... the first 60 or 90 days it just for the INS approval...
I will be glad to share more if you would like to talk by e-mail.

Re: I Need K-1 visa help
I purchased a book from Nolo titled "Fiance and Marriage Visas", it's
about 40 bucks. You can get it on Amazon.com, just search "nolo", you'll
find it. After reading it, I felt like I was capable to handle the matters
for myself. Even an attorneys who is a personal friend, who I confided in,
didn't have the knowledge that is in this book, (however he is not a
immigration attorney). So I felt fairly confident after reading the book.
Once I was done, I took the package to 2 different attorneys who specialize
in immigration, they both said it was fine with 2 minor additions. The cost
at that point was minor, $100 and $75 if I recall is all they charged to
look it over the package. The book is a good wealth of knowledge, yet it
isn't ALL you will ever need to know. There are areas of the law that only a
specialist will be able to help you with, but the beginning of the K-1
process is fairly straight forward. Good luck, Mark

Re: I Need K-1 visa help
I found a site that has the steps, the forms, example completed forms, and
as long as that information is good, I feel "sorta" confident
[url="http://warsaw-visaguide.hypermart.net/"]http://warsaw-visaguide.hypermart.net[-
/url]
only thing, this site is very irritating with pop-ups.
But I'm glad it's there. Wayne, I may consult you with a question or two!
Thanks everyone for your posts.
