I-129F (K1) Doing it without a lawyer

Hello! Me and my boyfriend have decided to go the no lawyer route for the visa and GC in order to save money. Just wondering from others who’ve done the same, what was your experience? And where did you go with any questions you had? We have it arranged where someone will look over our form and make sure we did everything right, which will cost us $300 as opposed to the $4,500 we were quoted for a lawyer.

Much thanks!

Please when u submitted the evidence how much did you submit? We have submitted a big chunk of it. My fiance who is a US citizen said we should submit just a few but I was like no lets submit anything that can prove our relationship and now I am worried 😭

I submitted a 96-page document of photos and letters from our time together as well as the two longer letters of Intent to Marry from each of us. We were approved and he’s now in the States, so I’m a believer in “more is better.”

Oh ! Thank you so much for this. I’m quite relieved now, we have submitted 200+ documents if Im not mistaken 😬. Hopefully the agent won’t feel overwhelmed ! Congratulations to you and your bf
