    This is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.

Unless you have training in immigration law, you are likely not even aware of all the potential pitfalls. An immigration lawyer can protect your interests and prevent you from jeopardizing the ability of anyone to eventually become a permanent resident or a U.S. citizen. Some mistakes are reversible, while some are not. Do yourself a favor and consult a professional. If you appreciate the time spent preparing this answer, kindly consider marking it BEST ANSWER or HELPFUL. Good luck to you.

    You need to submit the civil documents, originals and copies, to NVC along with the DS-230.

    You should consult with an immigrant attorney about this case.

    If you don't understand the instructions, consider hiring an immigration attorney to assist you.

    This process isn't as simple as most people tend to think.
