Tom I'm glad to hear it worked out for you congradulations.You and your wife are only second couple I've ever heard of.Who got threw the interview without a lawyer.Again congradulations.And best wishes.

Thanks Maxx, I didn't want to post until I was sure we were successful. I will admit I was anxious throughout the process and at times questioned OUR decision to fire the attorney and leave everything up to me. I hope everyone takes two things from my experience. First, it can be done quickly. Secondly, you can do it yourself if you pay attention to detail.
I guess this makes me one of the "experienced members" in this quest for to bring the most amazing wife imaginable. May all find the same success we have.

Thanks for sharing that. It doesn't surprise me to read that your attorney had you doing the work and he simply submits it. Most of them want the easy money. Finding an attorney who is willing to work is rare these days. In any area of law. Where I live to find a domestic court attorney that is willing to work or fight for you has eluded me. Very poor attornies where I live. Flat out lazy.

Jeff, if you look at what you need to provide the attorney is going to ask you to provide them with all the information and they will only submit the forms with the information you supply. I found valuable information on VISA Journey.

I agree with your last paragraph Scott . Qing and I had about .. let say between 20 and 30 lbs. of paper's with us . The fact that the Interviewer did not look at all that , only the Passport of mine with Visa's for four Trips .. does not mean the next Guy interviewing will not ask for all that .
So it's always better safe then sorry .

Scott and Arnold you both are on the right track.At my wife's interview they didn't ask for any of that stuff either.The important thing was that the interviewer seen my wife with all that stuff.When the person doing the interview sees your wife or girlfriend drag all that stuff to the interview with her it shows the people doing the interview.That both people in the relationship are committed to getting the visa.
It is the same thing when you hire a lawyer.You are showing GZ that you are serious about getting your lady a visa.And it is a little harder.For GZ to mess with the ladies at the interview.Because they know.They mess around with the lady.The lady is going to go down stairs crying.Then the boyfriend / husband is pissed.And the first thing the man does.When he gets out of the consulate.Is leave a very angry message on the lawyer answering machine.
So now the lawyer is pissed.His reputation is at stake here.So he calls GZ.And raises all kinds of fuss.And it keeps rolling down hill until it reaches the person who gave the interview.So the heat is on the interviewer now.The interviewer doesn't want that kind of heat.They may loose thiere job over something as simple as this.Then they loose the federal insurance they loose out living on easy street .Where just about everything they need is payed for.So thiere is allot at stake here.
GZ can mess with the woman all they want to.If thiere boyfriend/husband didn't hire a lawyer.If they fail the lady what are you going to do.Call your congressman.Leave a nasty message on GZ answering machine.GZ doesn't answer to you or your congressman.So thiere is no consequences or repercussions of thiere actions.And they know this.So they can do what they want to do.
