I finally decided

[Ms_Delacruz]

After carefully readin a whole lot of postings on here. I think I will beging this process on my own with OUT the use of a Lawyer. Its seems pretty confusing at time..But within skimming through many of the forums in here.. I found a whole lot of invaluable information that has inspired me to do this process LAwyer free... another factor that I also considered is that the very nice lawyer that I was fortunate to meet was charging me double of what it takes to first file your I-130 packet. I'm sure she is very experienced in this, but the truth of that matter is that money that I will be paying her can go towards our SAVINGS account we have started to support this Process and our family incase something unexpectedly should happen. Thank you all for your kind words or encouragement... and wish me luck... Im going in..

NOw I gotta tell you guys that the whole 601 Wavier thing is pretty intimidating.... its a pretty long process and alot of evidence and writting to be done.. But I hope I can count on all of your for support and tips in my journey.

I just checked the prices for submitting my first forms and it seems to be $455 for the I-130 and 355 for the I-129F (for my spouse) and I did check to see what the address was to file my paper work with, since I do not want a rejeted letter. Umm... am I missing aNYTHING?????? If I am.. please let me know.. I am Soooo excited....

Actually its 455 for the I-129F and 355 for the I-130. Congrats on deciding to do this on your own! I have also decided to do this on my own. We are so lucky to have came across I2US.
