Ok, ok, we all know that choosing whether or not to retain an attorney for the K1 Visa process can be a tough decision. But if you are diligent and take your time, then a lawyer is not necessary and will NOT be able to speed up the process.
The only thing that a lawyer can provide is a second set of eyes for proof reading your paperwork, and it won't be his eyes. He will stamp it and sign it after it is finished, then cash your check and forget about you. Some attorneys will be very willing to talk to you at first.
