Very expensive!!! Go to legal aid where you live and they will help you on a sliding scale or free if you don't have any income. Good luck.

Yes this is expensive you can fill them out yourself for free. You can call USCIS call them and ask what supporting documents such as W2's etc you need and they will tell you.
These lawyers are high and will bend you over if you let them. Your fees for this with Immigration are going to run into the thousands of dollars already. If you feel you have to have someone help you; search for some Visa agency close to you online and have them look over what you have for a few hundred dollars.
There is no magic bullet either your application is in order or it is not. No immigration lawyer is even allowed under current law to do much. They are massive con artists though.

$3,300 is about the average for a simple marriage based case. Don't forget that about $1,500 of that money will go towards filing the forms with the USCIS, if you didn't use an attorney then you would still have to pay at least that regardless.
If you do it yourself, it would cost you around $2,000 this includes all of the forms, police clearence certificate and either full or partial medical expenses.
So to answer your question, you could do it all cheaper if you file them yourself but no $3,300 (all inc.) for the services of a lawyer is about the average cost.

Listen I paid more than 6 thousand dollars.
And I have a lot of **** going on with my case anyway.
And so far I realized that If I read a lot about the Uscis website
I was probably able to do 90 % of what he did.
Lawyers are shark. No offense . but it is the TRUTH.
Anyway if u wanna feel safe and can afford it...do it.
But as people before me said you should see a couple of them before to make any decision.

Check with a few other attorneys to make sure you are getting a competitive price. It will be based on the degree of difficultness involved in fixing her papers. Such as, is she illegally in the US of A at this time......

Considering the fact that you could do it yourself, free, in about 30 minutes..... yes, it's expensive. Do you understand that it's just 3 simple forms?

For someone who has legal status, it's very expensive. If your fiance is illegal, it's about par.
