Coaching Overview

Our K-1 fiance visa consular application review service is designed to assist and guide you as you prepare and submit your K-1 fiance visa application. The application review service is ideal if you are comfortable preparing your own application but would like the added confidence of having an immigration lawyer review your application before you submit it to the consulate.

The application review service is limited to reviewing the application that you prepare on your own. It does not include in-depth legal analysis of your situation, our staff preparing your application or supporting documents, or our staff updating your application or making any needed updates. As a coaching service, we will provide you with guidance and information, but you’ll prepare and submit your application.

Our application review service is a coaching service and does not include in-depth legal analysis needed to address complex legal issues in a case. 

The Application Review Service May Be A Good Option For You If You:

  • Want to have the best chance of avoiding the most common immigration application mistakes
  • Are comfortable preparing your application on your own
  • Are confident that you meet all the requirements for a K-1 fiance visa
  • Would like the added confidence of having an immigration lawyer review your application before you submit it to the consulate
  • Want someone to review your application, but don't want to share your personal information in a public online group

The Application Review Service May NOT Be A Good Option For You If:

  • You don't have the time to research the legal aspects of your case to make sure that you qualify for a K-1 fiance visa
  • You need assistance in determining if any past legal issues will have an impact on your case
  • You need assistance in determining if any past immigration issues will have an impact on your case
  • You aren't confident that you can prepare your application on your own

Avoid Common Application Mistakes and Pitfalls

Checklist Comfort

The supporting documents for your case are important. But, you need to to avoid the "Checklist Comfort" trap of just checking items off on your supporting document checklist. It isn't enough for your documents to fall into a checklist category. The quality and details of each document are what matter. Viewing the supporting documents as a checklist exercise risks submitting documents that won't help win your case.

Options Overlook

"Options Overlook" occurs when you focus on one immigration option and overlook the possibility that there may be other options that are better for your case. "Options Overlook" also occurs when you don't carefully examine whether you meet all of the requirements for your type of application. As a result, you may end up choosing a path that isn’t best for you or applying when you don’t qualify.

Timeline Trance

It is easy to fall into a "Timeline Trance" and focus on the timeline of your case and view the timeline as the most important aspect of your case. Unless your case involves a deadline, you should focus on the quality of your application. If you put speed first, you risk making errors or poor decisions about your case that could put your entire case in jeopardy. Winning your case should take priority over moving quickly.

Form Focus

Immigration forms are important. You can't win your case without completing the right forms correctly. But if you fall into the "Form Focus" trap and focus too much on the forms, you may overlook the importance of the supporting evidence needed to win your case. While the forms are important, you win your case mostly on the supporting evidence, not on the forms alone.

Interview Infatuation

The interview is an important part of your case and it is easy to focus your entire case on what you’ll be asked at the interview. This "Interview Infatuation" can distract you from building a strong foundation for your case. Before you focus on the interview, you first need to build a strong foundation of solid forms and supporting evidence. A good foundation will make your interview much less challenging and stressful.

About Immigration Coach

Immigration Coach is a service of the Schaefer Law Firm that we developed after we noticed that many people who were preparing their own immigration applications were coming to us for a “second look.” 

Some of the common reasons for wanting a second look included:

  • Wanting the added confidence of having an immigration lawyer review the application before submitting it to the consulate
  • Wanting to have a flexible, lower-cost option for getting the assistance of an immigration lawyer
  • Realizing that the general information from the internet that was used to prepare the application may not cover all the unique aspects of the case
 

At the same time, we realized that people often ended up falling into at least one common mistake or pitfall when they were trying to prepare their application on their own:

  • Checklist Comfort
  • Options Overlook
  • Timeline Trance
  • Form Focus
  • Interview Infatuation

With this in mind, we designed our application review service to provide our clients with the second look that they wanted, with the flexibility and affordability that they needed, while helping to guide them around the common mistakes that they risked falling into by doing it all on their own.

What People Say About the Schaefer Law Firm:

"Professional honest lawyers. They took my case seriously and I recommend them 100%. I wouldn't think of going to a different lawyer service if I need one in the future."
"Schaefer Law Firm team helped us beyond expectations! They were there for us through the entire green card process. They helped us with the paperwork and they answered each and every question we had. They even prepared us perfectly for our interview!"
"Very professional and affordable, guides you step by step during the long visa journey. 5 stars rating!"
