Well, in case anyone was wondering.. I've spoken with two immigration attorneys. Both said (and this was based on a the specifics of our case and NOT a blanket recommendation for anyone reading this to apply to their situation!) that we do not need a lawyer and we can go ahead and file the I-485 without issue. So for $400, I bought peace of mind. :)

(And it did take quite a few inquiries and phone calls to come up with just two that were competent. I don't understand how so many lawyers claim they practice immigration law when they are still calling it the INS etc.)

Nothing I say is legal advice. I recommend you consult a qualified immigration attorney for any questions you may have.

Thanks! It has been a crazy couple of days but I'm glad this was brought up and solved now (Thanks to VJers!) rather than being blindsided at an interview!

Gotta love VJ! (L)
