subject: K-1 Visa Indonesia [print this page] Many feel that the assistance of an attorney with the K1 visa process can provide tangible benefits to both an American petitioner and an Indonesian fiance as a professional can streamline the process and provide insight and advice regarding applicable United States Immigration law. Unfortunately, due to the prevalence of so-called "visa companies", "visa agents", "visa specialists", and/or "visa consultants" on the World Wide Web there has been a proliferation of individuals claiming expertise in US Immigration matters where none actually exists. Only a licensed attorney in a US jurisdiction is qualified to provide advice and counsel regarding matters related to USCIS, the Department of Homeland Security, or US immigration law. Thus, when discussing United States immigration matters with a prospective attorney it is generally prudent to request credentials proving an individual's ability to practice US Immigration law. Many Embassies and Consulates around the globe will correspond directly with an American attorney. The same cannot be said for those without licensure and those seeking US immigration services should bear this in mind when making a decision to retain a US Immigration Law Firm.
